A story about life lived and lost, and what two teens hold onto in the wake of a tragic plane crash, told in a unique voice and style that puts readers directly inside the heroine's mind. Can you want something-or someone-so badly that it changes your destiny' Elyse Schmidt never would have thought so, until it happened to her. When Elyse and her not-so-secret crush, Josh Harris, are the sole survivors of a plane crash, tragedy binds them together. It's as if their love story is meant to be. Everything is perfect, or as perfect as it can be when you've literally fallen out of the sky and landed hard on the side of a mountain-until suddenly it isn't. When the pieces of Elyse's life stop fitting together, what's left? You Are the Everything is a story about the fates we yearn for, the fates we choose, and the fates that are chosen for us.
