Don't call her a guardian angel. Annabel is dead - but she hasn't completely gone away. Annabel immediately understands why her first assignment as a ghostly helper is to her old classmate: Julia is fat. And being fat makes you unhappy. Simple, right?
As Annabel shadows Julia's life in the pressured final year of school, Julia gradually lets Annabel's voice in, guiding her thoughts towards her body, food and control.
But nothing is as simple as it first seems. Spending time in Julia's head seems to be having its own effect on Annabel . . . And she knows that once the voices take hold, it's hard to ignore them.
