Spencer, Katherine. Saving Grace. New York: Parachute Publishing, 2006. 246 pages. (Fiction)
In the story Saving Grace the main characters are Grace, Philomena, Dylan, Rebecca, her dad, mom, and brother, Matt. The story mainly takes place in Grace’s high school and her bedroom. The problem Grace faces is that her brother has died in a car accident and she is trying to cope with this because school is starting, and she doesn’t know if she’s going to be able to face everyone and everything without thinking of Matt. To try and solve these problems, Grace starts hanging out with other people and starts ditching her friends for the “hottest” guy in school. She also tries to go to counseling, which doesn’t always seem to work. Also, the girl Philomena starts to meet with her at all of her bad moments and starts to act kind of weird around Grace. She also knows about all of the partying and drinking that Grace does with her new friends when Philomena isn’t even there.

I don’t know if I would recommend this book to someone because it depends on what they like to read. I personally didn’t really care for the book because in the end it doesn’t really end with any big type of a finish. I selected this book because a friend had recommended it and she made it sound interesting. In ten words I would describe this book as an eye-opener to what is around you and within you.
