Overview (Direct from Shelley Corriel's website:
Corriel, Shelley. "Goodbye, Rebel Blue." SHELLEY CORIELL. N.p., n.d. Web. 18 Jan. 2014.<http://www.shelleycoriell.com/books/young-adult-books/goodbye-rebel-blue/>.)

Rebecca Blue is a rebel with an attitude whose life is changed by a chance encounter with a soon-to-be dead girl. Rebel (as she’s known) decides to complete the dead girl’s bucket list to prove that choice, not chance, controls her fate. In doing so, she unexpectedly opens her mind and heart to a world she once dismissed—a world of friendships, family, and faith. With a shaken sense of self, she must reevaluate her loner philosophy—particularly when she falls for Nate, the golden boy do-gooder who never looks out for himself. Perfect for fans of Jay Asher’s blockbuster hit Thirteen Reasons Why, Coriell’s second novel features her sharp, engaging voice along with realistic drama and unforgettable characters.

My Summary:

This book was fabulous. Rebel wasnt the most liked or understood character in the book, but once she started following the list, things just came into place. The list that would have helped the dead girl's family instead came to help her's. Rebel grew. She wrestled with the idea of fate,gods, and destiny, but then she relazied that it didnt matter. So she could live her life how she wanted. I loved this book. It made me cry. You should read it too.

Other fabulous books:
