      One spring afternoon after school, Amber arrives home on her bike. It's just another perfectly normal day. But when Amber's mom sees her, she screams. Because Amber died seven years ago, hit by a car while on the very same bicycle she's inexplicably riding now. This return doesn't only impact Amber. Her sister, Melissa, now seven years older, must be a new kind of sibling to Amber. Amber's estranged parents are battling over her. And the changes ripple farther and farther out: Amber's friends, boyfriend, and even people she met only once have been deeply affected by her life and death. In the midst of everyone's turmoil, Amber is struggling with herself. What kind of person was she? How and why was she given this second chance?This magnificent tour de force by acclaimed author Gayle Forman brilliantly explores the porous veil between life and death, examines the impact that one person can have on the world, and celebrates life in all its beautiful complexity.

      Mi rincresce informarvi che mi sono tolta la vita. Era una decisione che meditavo da tempo e di cui mi assumo tutta la responsabilità. So che vi addolorerà, e mi dispiace tanto per questo, ma dovevo porre termine alla mia sofferenza. Voi non c'entrate niente, è stata una mia scelta. Voi non avete nessuna colpa. Questa è la lettera che Cody riceve il giorno in cui Meg, la migliore amica di sempre, si toglie la vita bevendo una bottiglia di candeggina in una squallida stanza di un motel. Cresciute insieme, Meg e Cody erano inseparabili, non esistevano segreti tra loro, o almeno questo era quello che pensava Cody. Quando però va a recuperare le cose dell'amica nella città dove un anno prima si era trasferita per andare al college, scopre che c'è tutta una parte della vita di Meg da cui lei era stata esclusa: i coinquilini, gli amici del college e Ben. Il ragazzo con la chitarra, un sorriso strafottente e tanti, troppi lati oscuri. E poi c'è un file criptato sul computer dell'amica che una volta aperto sconvolgerà Cody: all'improvviso tutto quello che credeva di sapere su Meg sembrerà non avere più senso.

      Globalization is fundamentally about people and the cultural exchanges that occur when different ways of life intersect. Journalist Gayle Forman, intrigued by the world’s complexities, embarks on an unconventional global adventure with her husband, seeking connections with those on society's margins. However, she soon realizes that globalization impacts everyone, including those living on the fringes. In her journey, Forman explores diverse locations, from the mountain hideaways of Kazakhstan's Tolkien enthusiasts to the townships of South Africa's lost tribe of Israel. Along the way, she encounters a vibrant array of characters: lovelorn Tongan transvestites, charismatic Tanzanian rap stars, precocious Cambodian street kids, and out-of-work Dutch prostitutes. Through these eight interwoven stories, Forman illustrates how globalization reshapes lives, emphasizing that our shared world connects us all. She poignantly reminds us that "to forget the humanity in others is to risk forgetting one's own," highlighting the importance of recognizing our shared experiences in an ever-shrinking world.
