Sometimes when you lose control, you find yourself.
It took Gabrielle ten
seconds to skid on black ice.
Ten seconds to wreck her
car and her back.
Ten seconds to ruin her
Olympic dreams.
Ten seconds to kill her
younger sister.
Eight months later,
Gabrielle's haunted by guilt, dependent on drugs to numb her pain and alcohol
to numb her brain. Then Erik Tennyson crashes into her. Soon Gabrielle's immersed
in the ghostly legend surrounding the Tennyson orchard, convinced that her
sister is linked to its mysterious origins.
If she can just discover
the truth, maybe she can put her sister's spirit to rest.
But
as Gabrielle grows closer to Erik, her world skids out of control once more.
Instead of appeasing the dead, she starts to do the thing she fears most: she
remembers how to live.

"SKID is my favorite kind of story, one
that acknowledges that life gives us pain and joy, love and sorrow in equal measure.
I rooted for Ellie every step of the way!" -Jennifer Mason-Black

About Tracey Martin:Tracey Martin wanted to be an astronaut, a doctor, and an actor, possibly all at once. Instead, she studied psychology , and that led her to have an epiphany–imaginary people are way more fun than real ones. And so she became a writer. Her books include Another Little Piece of my Heart, the Miss Misery series, and the RedZone dulogy.
She likes her coffee simple, her music epic, and her
movies to contain explosions. A city girl at heart, she doesn’t understand how
she and her husband ended up living in New Hampshire, but writing keeps her off
the mean, small town streets.

Ahh, this sounds like it could be really good. I'm not into YA contemporary but occasionally I find one that I really enjoy. Have you read this one? If you plan on reading it, I hope you like it! =)
