Publisher's Summary

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

A deeply moving story of carrying on even when it seems impossible.

Life is over in an instant for sixteen-year-old Finn Miller when a devastating car accident tumbles her and ten others over the side of a mountain. Suspended between worlds, she watches helplessly as those she loves struggle to survive.

Impossible choices are made, decisions that leave the survivors tormented with grief and regret. Unable to let go, Finn keeps vigil as they struggle to reclaim their shattered lives. Jack, her father, who seeks vengeance against the one person he can blame other than himself; her best friend, Mo, who bravely searches for the truth as the story of their survival is rewritten; her sister Chloe, who knows Finn lingers and yearns to join her; and her mother, Ann, who saved them all but is haunted by her decisions. Finn needs to move on, but how can she with her family still in pieces?

Heartrending yet ultimately redemptive, In an Instant is a story about the power of love, the meaning of family, and carrying on...even when it seems impossible.

Highly recommend!!

I really don't get the appeal

This book was a huge disappointment. all the characters where unrelatble and unrealistic. As a parent this book seems to clearly be written by someone who doesn't have children. All the adult characters are unbearable. The father is a weird asshole who creeps on his nurse, the mother is a cold bitch who should never have had kids, 'uncle Bob and aunt Karen' are so awful it's like they are cartoon characters. this could have been a good story, the crash was reciting but the characters were so pathetic and unrealistic that it was unbearable to get through. I also could not stand the narrators voice, especially when she spoke as the father. when I read it in my head my tone was significantly different. I'd give this book a 0 if I could. The book literally ends with the parents getting rid of all of their dead kids stuff, so they don't have to be reminded they had ever existed, ridiculous.
