Teagan Philips, an utterly rich and fashionable teen (also very spoled) , is finally turning sixteen! Her Sweet Sixteen party is supposed to turn out as the party of the century, with an awesome DJ, pretty-but-not-too-pretty servers in Chanel shades, piercing stations, and so much more! Her boyfriend seems to be the sweetest guy on the planet, by the way. Everything starts out perfectly (uh. except for the fact that it was raining.) and everybody's enjoying the party, while Teagan discovers some popularity-killing faults to her party. Everything starts going wrong, her Vera Wang dress is ruined, she fires a waitress, and trips on her way down the steps in the basement. Nobody notices that she's gone.. nobody but one person. Person? Sure.. but it seemed very little like a person. Anyhow, she comes to the rescue, bringing her to see things that have happened in her past and will happen in her future. The 'ghost' tells Teagan she is dead, and they are invisible while tey re enact all these horrible situations.

In the end, Teagan isn't as caught up with money and other things like she usually is. She notices how great her dad is, and how she seemed to have upset him. Teagan's mother died when Teagan was six, and her father has a new fiance whom she hates. Afterwards, she learns to love her soon to be stepmother.

This book was not realistic, yet in some ways it was. The situations were obviously fiction, but they were pretty belivable, like it could happen to anyone at any given time in their life. I loved this book, and it kept me reading till the very end. There weren't any boring parts. Okay, well, if there were, there weren't a lot of them.
