After a horrific, two-vehicle accident, Beth awakens as the sole survivor with no memory of her past life. At her bedside, waits a virtual stranger, Darren, her best friend and roommate. Beth has many questions about who she is, and as a true friend, Darren fills in the gaps. She is distressed to learn about her promiscuous past, but strangely enough, Darren was the only one with whom she was never intimate. Despite their lack of physical intimacy, he knows everything about her. He was there with her through her more-than-typical, young adult tragedies. During this foggy time, new friendships develop. In addition, Darren’s quirky, high school, gifted students interject humor, while challenging Darren to make crucial, life decisions. Beth’s subconscious, through vivid dreams, begins to piece together mysteries surrounding the accident and a past life. Unexplainable memories cause her to question her sanity, until she comes face-to-face with the picture of the other victims from the crash. While Beth is coming to terms with the supernatural, Darren is confronted with the choice of letting go of the Beth he once knew and falling in love with the Beth he knows now.
This story is an emotional rollercoaster that grabs your heart and doesn’t let go. Beth’s journey of rediscovery after a tragic accident is both heartbreaking and inspiring. The author paints her confusion, fear, and hope so vividly that you feel every moment alongside her. Darren’s unwavering loyalty adds such depth and tenderness, and the chemistry between them is undeniable. The supernatural twists and dream sequences kept me captivated till the end. A beautifully written tale about memory, love, and the power of second chances.
I loved this book! It leaves you with that gut feeling of what had happened to the main character after her accident and shows how a person can love you through ups and downs through lightness and darkness and to wake up realizing that person still with you and makes you fall in love all over again.
