"THE EXTRAORDINARY NEW YA NOVEL FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF IF I STAY, GAYLE FORMAN.
'Gayle Forman reigns as the queen of breaking hearts with a touch of magic'
- Adam Silvera, author of They Both Die at the End
One spring afternoon after school, Amber arrives home on her bike. It's just another perfectly normal day. But when Amber's mom sees her, she screams. Because Amber died seven years ago, hit by a car while on the very same bicycle she's inexplicably riding now.
This return doesn't only impact Amber. Her sister, Melissa, now seven years older, must be a new kind of sibling to Amber. Amber's estranged parents are battling over her. And the changes ripple farther and farther out: Amber's friends, boyfriend, and even people she met only once have been deeply affected by her life and death. In the midst of everyone's turmoil, Amber is struggling with herself. What kind of person was she? How and why was she given this second chance?
This magnificent tour de force by acclaimed author Gayle Forman brilliantly explores the porous veil between life and death, examines the impact that one person can have on the world, and celebrates life in all its beautiful complexity."
"Tiene que decidirse: su familia y Nueva York, su novio y su amor por la música clásica.
Pero entonces, ocurre un accidente. Ya nada será como antes. Y solo le queda una decisión: vivir o morir.
Mia tiene diecisiete años, un hermano pequeño de ocho, un padre músico y el don de tocar el chelo como los ángeles. Muy pronto se examinará para entrar en la prestigiosa escuela Juilliard, en Nueva York, y, si la admiten, deberá dejarlo todo: su ciudad, su familia, su novio y sus amigas. Aunque el chelo es su pasión, la decisión la inquieta desde hace semanas.
Una mañana de febrero, la ciudad se levanta con un manto de nieve y las escuelas cierran. La joven y su familia aprovechan el asueto inesperado para salir de excursión en coche. Es un día perfecto, están relajados, escuchando música y charlando. Pero en un instante todo cambia. Un terrible accidente deja a Mia malherida en la cama de un hospital. Mientras su cuerpo se debate entre la vida y la muerte, la joven ha de elegir si desea seguir adelante.
Y esa decisión es lo único que importa.

"A heartbreaking story about finding yourself and your people, from the bestselling author of If I Stay, a major film starring Chloë Grace Moretz. For fans of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, John Green and Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.
'I got this whole-body feeling . . . it was like a message from future me to present me, telling me that in some way we weren’t just bound to happen, that we had, in some sense, already happened. It felt . . . inevitable.'
So far, the inevitable hasn’t worked out so well for Aaron Stein.
While his friends have gone to college and moved on with their lives, Aaron’s been left behind in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, running a failing bookshop with his dad, Ira. What he needs is a lucky break, the good kind of inevitable.
And then he meets Hannah. Incredible Hannah – magical, musical, brave and clever. Could she be the answer? And could they – their relationship, their meeting – possibly be the inevitable Aaron’s been waiting for?

"Maribeth Klein is so busy taking care of her husband and twins that she doesn’t even realise that she has had a heart attack. Afterwards, surprised to discover that her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her, Maribeth does the unthinkable – she packs a bag and leaves. Far from the demands of family and career, she is finally able to own up to the secrets she has been keeping from herself and those she loves."
"Maribeth Klein, Anfang 40, ist so damit beschäftigt, die perfekte Mutter von kleinen Zwillingen, Ehefrau und erfolgreiche Redakteurin einer Frauenzeitschrift zu sein, dass sie vor lauter Stress gar nicht merkt, dass sie einen Herzinfarkt hatte. Als sie nach einer Notoperation völlig geschwächt wieder zu Hause ist und begreift, dass Familie und Job ihr keine Möglichkeit lassen, zu Kräften zu kommen, trifft sie eine schmerzhafte Entscheidung: Sie packt eine kleine Tasche und geht.
Gayle Forman erzählt auf ergreifende Weise davon, wie viel Mut es braucht, sich für das Leben zu entscheiden und davon, dass man manchmal von zu Hause fortgehen muss, um wieder dorthin zurückfinden zu können."
"For every woman who has ever fantasized about driving past her exit on the highway instead of going home to make dinner, for anyone who has ever dreamed of boarding a train to a place where no one needs constant attention, here is Maribeth Klein. A harried working
mother who’s so busy taking care of her husband and twins, she doesn’t even realize that she’s had a heart attack.
Surprised to discover that her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her, Maribeth does the unthinkable—she packs a bag and leaves. But, as is often the case, once we get where we’re going we see our lives from a different perspective. Far from the
demands of family and career and with the help of liberating new friendships, Maribeth is finally able to own up to the secrets she has been keeping from herself and those she loves.
Gayle Forman is a dazzling observer of human nature. Her trademark sensitivity and humor abound as she confronts the ambivalence and complexities of modern motherhood head-on and shows us that sometimes you need to leave home in order to find it again. With bighearted
characters—husbands, wives, friends, andlovers—who stumble and soar, grow and forgive, Leave Me is about facing the fears we’re all running from."
