Without Tess by Marcella Pixley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lizzie watched her sister slowly deteriorate and die.  Tess promised to never leave, but she still died.  
After Tess died, Lizzie snatched Tess's Journal and has clung to it and the memories it holds ever since.  She often reminisces about the good times and getting pulled in to Tess's magical make-believe world.  Lizzie was too young to realize how dangerous Tess’s magical world could be.
Now Lizzie is in high school and lost in a world of guilt and grief.
How can Lizzie make peace with what happened to Tess?  Can she start to live her own life?
