I Miss You! I Miss You! chronicles the year after Cilla's death and how Tina travels from a place where she can't imagine life without her sister, to a new understandng of herself as an individual. To demonstrate Tina's desire to distance herself from the horrific event, the author skillfully presents the narrative in third person, then gradually moves into Tina's own voice as she comes to terms with the loss of her sibling. Tina is stunned and unsure of how to hold onto the memory of her sister without losing her own identity. Then the unthinkable happens-Cilla is struck and killed by a car as she runs to the school bus, mere steps behind Tina. Cilla wants to save the world, while Tina is busy falling in love with every boy in school. Thirteen-year-old identical twins Cilla and Tina are polar opposites and best friends.
