Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

"Sadie," he said while peeking over at me. "Yes?" I answered back and looked into his blue-green eyes. "What's your deepest fear?" He mumbled shyly. "Not having the permission to love," I admitted. After a minute of comfortable silence, I added: "It haunts me everyday, Jordan." He looked over at me and tears welled up in my eyes again. Before he could see a single drop come out, he hugged me. I heard his heartbeat and my own beat at the same time and my emotions overcame me. The calm wind blew in my damp face as I wept the last of my tears into Jordan's bare forearm.
