That's basically what I did.

I just found the same book by Zevin when I googled "young adult book girl takes care of sister Anya"

The cover I see looks different from what you describe, but the story sounds like All These Things I've Done by Gabrielle Zevin.

If I stay is about something totally different.

I'm looking at if I stay on my sons bookshelf and I don't think that's it

If I Stay

ask a librarian. they know this kind of stuff.

About five years ago, I was in a library and skimmed this book but can't for the life of me find it again. One of the main characters was named Anya. The cover was black and had smoke, it was a young adult book. I think the main character had a brother-Teddy, maybe?-who dies in a car crash, but her sister, who's maybe Anya, is very young and has some terrible illness. The main girl, who's a teenager, always has to take care of Anya as the parents are occupied with Teddy. Anyway, I know that's very vague, but let me know!
