Inertia, force, mass, gravity, velocity, acceleration... cause and effect.Liz Emerson doesnt understand any of it.But I do.I understand how we fall. Where we fall. Why we fall.I understand her sadness and loneliness and silence, her shattered heart.It doesnt have to be this way, does it?It wasnt always this way, was it?Stay alive, Liz Emerson, stay alive.On the day Liz Emerson tries to die, they had reviewed Newtons laws of motion in physics class. Then, after school, she put them into practice by running her Mercedes off the road. Why did Liz Emerson decide that the world would be better off without her? Why did she give up? The nonlinear novel pieces together the short and devastating life of Meridian Highs most popular junior girl. Mass, acceleration, momentum, force—Liz didnt understand it in physics, and even as her Mercedes hurtles toward the tree, she doesnt understand it now. How do we impact one another? How do our actions reverberate? What does it mean to be a friend? To love someone? To be a daughter? Or a mother? Is life truly more than cause and effect? Amy Zhangs haunting and universal story will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver, Gayle Forman, and Jay Asher.
