Until Zoë's former boyfriend Marc shows up with her diary.
At first Echo's not interested, doubting there's anything in there she doesn't already know. But when curiosity prevails, she starts reading, becoming so immersed in her sister's secret world, their lives begin to blur, forcing Echo to uncover the truth behind Zoë's life, so that she can start to rebuild her own.
Prepare to laugh your heart out and cry your eyes out in this highly addictive tale, as Alyson Noël tackles the complicated relationship between two sisters and shows how the bond can endure long after one of them is gone.
"This is one of Alyson Noël's stronger books, with lots of emotion and depth. 5 STARS."
Kimberly Pauley, Young Adult Books Central (YABC)
"Reveals the hidden dangers of social networking on the Internet and date rape drugs. Noël get the message across without being preachy; readers will learn from it and enjoy the novel's suspense and intrigue."
School Library Journal
"Although Alyson Noël is best known for her lighter, contemporary stories, she has taken a serious, heartbreaking plot line and turned it into a winner that you'll never forget. I found myself as immersed in Zoë's life as Echo did, and found it hard to put the book down the entire time I was reading. Ms. Noël has done an awesome job with this weightier subject matter, and I hope to read more stories in this vein from her in the future. 5 STARS, GOLD AWARD."
Jennifer Wardrip, Teens Read Too
"This well-written story is both tragic and optimistic. Besides coping with
her own grief, Echo must deal with the additional pressure of being
overprotected by her numb, pill-popping mother and her absentee father. Echo
decides to have a heart-to-heart discussion with her parents and this leads
to positive changes. Zoë's family members and friends demonstrate that love
and memories do not have to die along with the loved one. Noël's novel will
remind readers to appreciate the people in their lives."
Mary Jo Edwards,
Children's Literature
"Noël tells the story through the first-person narrative of Zoë's and Echo's
diaries, using a conversational style that makes a quick
read... these issues merit discussion, and Noel presents them without preaching or judging."

"Alyson Noël stunned me once again with her book, Saving Zoë. I have read books by Alyson Noël before, but this is by far my favorite ...It's hard not to get sucked in as you laugh with Echo's first boyfriend problems and even harder when you cry at the issues she must confront as she learns more and more about her sister. This book has become one of my favorites of all time!"

YA Galley Teen Review
"There's both heartbreak and humor in this one... I loved it."
Carol Fitzgerald, Bookreporter.com
" ...Alyson Noël has woven together all the challenges young teens face and given it a title. Saving Zoë is beautifully written and will capture the attention of any young teen... I loved Saving Zoë; it captivated me to the point where I could not put it down. I was as intrigued to read Zoë's diary and learn her story as much as Echo herself. This book has everything and is incredibly inspiring. Saving Zoë shows you how you can bond with family even after they are gone. I loved every minute of this novel...The only rating I can give Saving Zoë is 5 stars."
