17 & Gone by Nova Ren Suma

If you liked 13 Reasons Why (the book, not the show), you will most definitely like this.

Lauren is driving to school when her ancient van stalls.  As she tries to restart it, she notices a "missing" poster on the other side of the road.  Darting across traffic, she grabs the poster for 17 year old Abby.  As Lauren drives to school, she realizes Abby's ghost in the van with her.

Soon Abby is joined by other 17 year old girls.  All of them are missing.  Lauren feels she has been chosen to find them, whether living or dead and bring them, and their families, peace.  But as she becomes obsessed with her quest, her school work and relationships with real people begin to suffer.  The line between reality and the ghosts/visions blurs.  And there is a wicked twist.

I don't want to spoil too much here!  This was a page-turner that kept me reading for hours straight.  I couldn't put it down.
