A teenage girl wonders if she's inherited more than just a heart from
her donor in this compulsively readable debut.
Seventeen-year-old Chloe had a plan: work hard, get good grades, and
attend a top-tier college. But after she collapses during cross-country
practice and is told that she needs a new heart, all her careful
preparations are laid to waste. Eight months after her transplant,
everything is different. Stuck in summer school with the underachievers,
all she wants to do now is grab her surfboard and hit the waves--which
is strange, because she wasn't interested in surfing before her
transplant. (It doesn't hurt that her instructor, Kai, is seriously
good-looking.) And that's not all that's strange. There's also the vivid
recurring nightmare about crashing a motorcycle in a tunnel and memories
of people and places she doesn't recognize. Is there something wrong
with her head now, too, or is there another explanation for what she's
experiencing? As she searches for answers, and as her attraction to Kai
intensifies, what she learns will lead her to question everything she
thought she knew--about life, death, love, identity, and the true nature
of reality.
