Publisher Description
Enter a world where memories are elusive, trust is hard-won, and the truth may shatter everything you thought you knew . . .
“Proves to be both a gripping thriller and swoony love story . . . Scott succeeds in weaving an unpredictable course that will have [readers] on the edge of their seats, and fully satisfied when the answers come.”—Publishers Weekly
Ava wakes up in a house she doesn’t know, into a life she doesn’t recognize. Everyone is a stranger, and Ava can’t shake the odd feeling that she’s not who they say she is. Though she struggles to make out the memories that begin to resurface, they’re of a different life entirely—one filled with danger. Ava doesn’t know what to make of these visions in which she and familiar-faced friends play very different, and very deadly, roles. But when Morgan appears—the one boy able to step from her memories into her reality—the high stakes and ultimate sacrifices of eternal love become the fiercest truth of all.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When 17-year-old Ava awakens in an unfamiliar house with a woman she doesn't know claiming to be her mother, the stage is set for what proves to be both a gripping thriller and swoony love story, a doomed romance with a touch of science fiction. Tension builds from the outset, as Ava tries to come to grips with the amnesia she's diagnosed with, as well as her hazy memories of a very different world one in which she vaguely remembers certain people from her "new" life and where pervasive governmental surveillance is the norm. When a mystery boy, Morgan, appears, Ava begins to unravel where she came from, who she is, and who she wants to be, choices that will resonate for teens who, like Ava, may at times feel like strangers in their own lives. Readers might think they know where the story is going, but Scott (Between Here and Forever) succeeds in weaving an unpredictable course that will have them on the edge of their seats, and fully satisfied when the answers come. Ages 14 up.
