A girl.
A coma.
A life she can't remember.
When Emma Walker wakes up in the hospital with no knowledge of how she got there, she learns that she's been in a coma for six months. Strangers show up and claim to be her parents, but she can't remember them. She can't remember anyone. Not her friends, not even her boyfriend. Even though she can't remember, everyone wants her to just pick up where she left off, but what she learns about the 'old her' makes her start to wish she'd never woken up. Her boyfriend breaks up with the new girl he's dating to be with her, her parents want her to start planning for college, her friends want their leader back, and her physical therapist with the hazel eyes keeps his distance to save his position at the hospital.
Will she ever feel like she recognizes the girl in the mirror?

EXCERPT
"Hey, girl." I looked back
at him while Mason took his wasted brother's shoes off. "You dating my big
brother, or what? 'Cause he'll just ruin you, you know. He doesn't care about
anyone but himself." I stared at him. Mason have just saved his ungrateful
behind and this was how he repaid him?
He let his head fall back to the bed and Mason tossed a blanket over him. He
guided me away from his room with a hand on the small of my back. I couldn't
believe this was what Mason's life was like. All he did was take care of other
people.
We retreated back to the shop. "The sad thing?" he asked as soon as
he shut the door and sighed, pulling me by my hips. "He'll be gone by
morning."
After this excerpt I really want to read the book :)
