Saving Zoë

By: Alyson Noel


  Zoë was murdered last year and her sister Echo is left to pick up the pieces. A year later Echo tries to “cope” with Zoë’s death as she starts high school without her sister to look out for her. Echo is known as “the sister of the girl who died”.
  Echo doesn’t show how tough the past year was. Without knowing it, the experience helped prepare her for what happens next. Just as school starts, Zoë’s old boyfriend Marc, gives Echo her sisters diary. Even though Echo thinks that reading the diary is betraying her sister, Marc explains the diary will explain who Zoë really was. Right away Echo is captured in Zoë’s life through her sister’s writings, and even see’s if she could have saved Zoë.
  I was captured in this story as much as Echo was in Zoë’s. I am one of those people that LOVES crime dramas, like CSI and Law and Order, so it was really awesome to read Zoë’s diary to see what led up to the crime. In the story, at times Echo can’t stand to read Zoë’s diary any longer but for me I couldn’t stand to read the last chapter. I couldn’t stand to have it end. Saving Zoë was one of the best books I have read lately and left me craving more of Noel’s writing.

My favorite part of the book was when Echo really coped with Zoë’s death.
