Publisher Description
An emotional love story with a thrilling twist from the globally bestselling author of The One Memory of Flora Banks.
Ariel's accidental meeting with a handsome stranger called Joe is completely perfect; they have a connection like she's never known before. They exchange numbers and agree to meet when he is back from a trip to France. But when Ariel messages him, the number Joe gave her is disconnected. He's ghosted her. She assumes she will never see him again.
Except she does. Again and again.
Ariel returns to the place she and Joe met, and is stunned to find him there, not in France as he said he'd be, and behaving as if he has no idea who she is.
It turns out that their first meeting has been life-changing for them both, actually it's even more than that for Joe. But what do you do when - with every day that passes - you're literally growing apart from the best person you've ever known . . . ?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Emily Barr—author of the bestselling The One Memory of Flora Banks—has here penned a completely gripping, mysterious, moving-yet-uplifting YA love story with generous dollops of the supernatural. This heady mix of genres could read clumsily in the wrong hands, but Barr has crafted something wonderfully intoxicating. When Ariel meets Joe in the shopping mall near school, they immediately share a connection, but soon realise theirs is an impossible love—Ariel is living in 2019, and Joe is a ghost who went to her school in 1999. Joe’s disappearance was never solved and, until they can find out the truth of what happened to him, he’s trapped reliving the day he died over and over again. It’s a sweet, nostalgic read about first love, family and moving on from the past that becomes truly affecting.
