About the book
A captivating contemporary novel about first love, second chances, and the power of memory, by the author of Between Us and the Moon, perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Katie Cotugno.
One year ago, Penny Berne was the star of her high school’s theater department, surrounded by a group of misfits and falling in love with her best friend, Wes.
Now her old friends won’t talk to her, her first love, Wes, ignores her, and her best friend is the most popular girl in school. Penny is revered—and hated.
But when a near-fatal lightning strike leaves Penny with no memory of the past year, or how she went from drama nerd to queen bee, Penny realizes she may have the second chance she never expected.…
A year of her life is a blank. Can she piece together the truth without repeating the mistakes she can’t remember making?
- A Lost Year: A freak lightning strike erases twelve months of Penny’s memory, leaving her to navigate a life as a popular queen bee she doesn’t recognize.
- Best Friends to Strangers: She remembers falling for her best friend, Wes. She has no idea why he now won’t even look her in the eye.
- Old Friends and New Enemies: Her former theater-nerd friends want nothing to do with her, and her new best friend is the most popular girl in school. Who can she trust?
- A Chance to Start Over: Penny can either reclaim her old life or embrace her new one—if the secrets of the past year don’t make the choice for her.
