"Fox handles (the mystery of how Nicole died) with sensitivity and warmth while accurately capturing ... the complexities of group acceptance versus feeling ostracized and self-doubt. ... the touching treatment of teenage priorities and the value of life and friendship is rewarding."-BookLife by Publisher's Weekly

*For fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and We Were Liars * comes a tale of redemption from YA author Annie Fox. True friendship is put to the test when Nicole's untimely death leads to more questions than answers.**Sixteen-year-old Nicole had enough on her plate already between navigating the ups and downs of friendship with her witchy best friend Isabel, competing with her romantic rival Cassie, and flirting with her crush Alex, a.k.a. Cassie's boyfriend-and now she's dead. They say it was suicide, but Nicole knows she didn't kill herself and will do whatever it takes to prove it.

When Nicole wakes up and finds herself on Substation Fifteen, a special plane of existence for teen suicides, she must accept the fact that she is no longer alive. Nicole has zero memory of dying, but she's convinced she didn't take her own life and doesn't belong here.

Her only path to uncovering the truth is a journey through a minefield of secrets and lies, beginning at her own funeral. The clock is ticking while she tries to figure out a way to communicate from beyond the grave with Isabel and Cassie. Both girls know much more about Nicole's Last Day than they're willing to admit-but ultimately, the facts Nicole finds may be harder to piece together and accept than her death itself.

A story of family and friendship, the supernatural, and high school drama,* The Little Things that Kill * shows readers the impact of the small choices we make every day in our lives (and afterlives).
