Dear Edward (YA)

Edward's claim to fame is to be the only survivor in a horrific plane crash that also took the lives of his family.  Edward is broken but he needs to learn to live again, but he is almost haunted by some of the passengers he remember from the flight and it is these ghosts he must come to terms with in order to learn to live again although nothing will ever be the same.
This book was so much more than you typical coming of age book, maybe because Edward has so much else to fight through, and he struggles to make sure everyone else is fine while everyone else is walking on eggshells to make sure Edward is fine, which he hates and sees right through.  Edward is a very interesting character one you won't find many other places and that is what makes this book so special is he is not fine in the first few chapters but you see his process and progress, but it is something that will stay with him for the rest of his life, but he still has to live because he is the one here.
