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.…

  1. Entering this great giveaway for my sister. She would absolutely love it so thanks for the chance

  2. I love two truths and lie. That was a really fun way to do the interview. I am quite looking forward to this book, as well.

  3. Rebecca is very talented and creative. What a delightful post. The novel would be a treasure which I would enjoy this summer.

  4. I love the premise of this book–friendship stories are my favorites. I’m so hoping that the lightning strike memory event is well written and believable. Your post makes me want to head to the ocean!

  5. I love the cover of this one. Interested in seeing what happens with the 360 in her life. When you stated you broke your nose because you hadn’t seen black ice Bella from Twilight popped into my head (from the movie). LOL

  7. They all sound plausible to me. I’m not good at that game. I only know truth. I’d love to read your book.
