After Estella Montclair is killed in a texting and driving crash, what remains of her face and body is devastating. But not all of her has died. During the first month after her death, Estella's spirit travels among her living friends and family. Her best friends Zara, Eva and Jett show her how pain and sorrow can break apart or strengthen a bond. She also sees for the first time that loss can spark revenge, catastrophe can come without warning, and we all have secrets. She wonders if her chance for love with Phoenix has passed her by, and if out of sight truly means out of mind. And maybe one day the girl who caused her death will admit her mistake. While adjusting to a new state of being, Estella struggles to face the limitations that come with death, but blossoms by recognizing she can still touch the lives of the people she once knew so well.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Look at the After Effects of a Texting and Driving Accident September 18, 2012

By Stephanie Ward

Format:Kindle Edition

'Careful' is the first book in a young adult series that follows Estella, who just happens to be dead. During a typical day in winter, Estella is in a car accident where the other driver was texting and driving. She was killed instantly. Instead of going into "the light," Estella decides that she's not done on Earth quite yet and now exists as spirit as she watches the effects her death has on those she holds most dear.

This novel is a well written story that deals with serious topics in today's society - like texting and driving, death, and grief. We see the story from Estella's point of view - so we are able to get a kind of outside view of how her death effects her family, friends, and the town. Even though Estella is now just a spirit, she finds that she can still touch the lives of those she left behind - which is a heartwarming thought and also provides some thought-provoking questions about what really happens when someone dies. The story is sad and touching, while also being uplifting at times. It's an interesting first book in a series that will make readers aware of social issues as well as make them think.

Disclosure: I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
