Between by Jessica Warman
Waterstone's Synopsis:
Only the good die young. Right? Elizabeth Valchar has it all: friends, money, beauty, a cute boyfriend and assured popularity. But on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, she is found drowned next to her parents' boat. Everyone thinks it was a tragic accident - teens drinking on a boat, a misstep leading to a watery death. But Liz is still here after death, and she doesn't know why. There are gaps in her memory. Her only company Alex, a boy killed by a car a year earlier, Liz sets out to piece together her life. But their small coastal town is hiding many secrets - about families, boyfriends and friendship. Plus, Alex hates Liz for being mean when they were alive. Was she as squeaky clean as she thinks she was? Could it be that she herself is hiding the biggest secret of all? Can Liz discover the truth? And if she does, who can she tell? An engrossing, compelling thriller that peels back the layers of small-town life to expose true, ugly, cruel human nature.

This one is a more recent addition to my wishlist, as it was only released this week in the UK by Egmont Books. The premise for the novel sounds fascinating, as does the point of view that the story is told from. I haven't come across many books where the protagonist and narrator of the story is dead and speaking to the author 'from beyond the grave'; the last novel I read with this kind of approach was The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, which is another of my favourite books, so I think I'm expecting a lot from this novel as well, despite its YA status
