Olivia wakes up confused in a hospital bed. After a week-long coma, she can't remember the accident that brought her to the hospital. What she soon figures out however, is that she's lost four precious years of her life.
She can't remember starting- or graduating- from my high school. She doesn't remember her boyfriend Matt. She doesn't remember why one of her best friends is no longer in touch with her.
She realizes that she's quite different as an 18-year-old and struggles to figure out who she really is. With a constant army of people supplying her with memories she doesn't know she had, Olivia needs to hear from her savior to figure out the truth.
Olivia feels different with tight-lipped Walker, the man who rescued her. As she determines whether or not she still loves Matt, she finds herself getting closer to Walker. This love-triangle further complicates Olivia's complex situation- but who will she choose?
Olivia debates questions that we all find ourselves debating at this age. Am I really the person everyone claims I am? Do I need to go back to an older version of myself? Can I change? Unfortunately, Olivia does not have a bank of memories and experiences to rely on as she makes her decisions.
Olivia managed her frustration very well, in fact I was surprised by how quickly she began putting things together. However, her character was likable and I was rooting for her all along. Kirby did an excellent job of portraying all of Olivia's emotions, which really shone through everything else.
I read the book over a very brief time-period, because I just couldn't put it down! The writing was simplistic and resembled a teenager's tone- creating a great and quick read. The slight hints of romance left me wanting more- and so did almost everything else about the book!
