Remember Me

This is my favorite Christopher Pike book. I've read it at least half a dozen times and it still compels me.

Imagine falling to your death at a birthday party and coming back as a "ghost" not only to witness your post-world, but to be part of the investigation? This is what Shari Cooper gets to do.

Shari was only in high school, not ready for her life to end. There doesn't seem to be anyone who would willingly hurt her, so finding out exactly what happened proves mysterious and intriguing all the way through.

The cast of characters are created so individually that you find yourself drawn to each one. And the mystery continues to deepen as you discover more nuances from the night of the party, with each of Shari's friends becoming more suspicious and their part in that night more complicated.

This is an amazing journey with a simple girl who loved life and hopes to learn why it had to end so soon. Pike loves his characters and his story, which is why you will too.
