"A touching, perceptive take on grief, technology, and
self-acceptance." -Kirkus Reviews
It has never been easy for Cora to make friends. Cora is autistic, and
sometimes she gets overwhelmed and stims to soothe her nerves. Adrien
has ADHD and knows what it is like to navigate a world that isn't always
built for the neurodiverse. The two are fast friends until an accident
puts Adrien in a coma.
Cora is devastated until Dr. Gold, the CEO of Pomegranate Institute,
offers to let Cora talk to Adrien again, as a hologram her company
develops. While at first enchanted, Cora soon discovers that the
hologram of Adrien doesn't capture who he was in life. And the deeper
Cora dives into the mystery, the more she sees Pomegranate has secrets
to hide. Can Cora uncover Pomegranate's dark truth before their
technologies rewrite history forever?
