Who do you become when you forget the last two years of your life? After a devastating accident, seventeen-year-old Lila can’t remember anything beyond her sophomore year. Now, she’s back to her old life—complete with the loyal boyfriend—but something doesn’t add up. Her friendships seem strained, her life appears different. And the version of herself she expected to step into feels more like a costume than the truth. Then there’s Jake—the quiet, artistic boy who looks at her like he knows her better than anyone else. Lila isn’t sure why, but being around him feels like remembering something important. As glimpses of the missing years start to surface, Lila must navigate a world of half-truths and hidden choices to uncover who she really is—and who she wants to be now. A layered and emotionally charged story about identity, memory, and the courage it takes to start over—even when everyone around you wants things to stay the same. Perfect for fans of E. Lockhart and Katie Cotugno.
