Echo's dead, no doubt about it. She hung a rope and let herself drop. So why is she still here? She's trapped on earth, and the only person who can see her is Jordan, a boy who died earlier on in the year. She's forced to watch her best friend struggle with a burden that killed her.
Harmony's had a normal life up until now. She had a great best friend, decent parents, and not that much experience with tragedy. But when she gets the news that her "great best friend" killed herself on a cold, rainy night, her life is completely changed. Suddenly she's a tragedy expert, and if something isn't done she could be the next headline.
Can Echo save Harmony, and herself?
