WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?
Not a fan of series? Good news! This is a standalone novel with no sequels attached.

Jill, an American teenager, wakes up in a hospital with no memories and news that she’s been in a coma for the past two months. She also learns several disturbing facts: One—her amnesia is the result of a car crash that happened overseas during a school trip. Two—her best friend, Simone, was killed in the crash. Three—Jill was driving. And four—the Italian police want her back in Italy to stand trial for what they claim was a deliberate attempt at murder/suicide. In the wake of these shocking allegations, Jill realizes that she has no choice but to recover her lost memories and prove her innocence before it’s too late. But the truth, she learns, isn’t as straightforward as she thinks.

WHY SHOULD YOU READ IT?
Twists and turns abound in this suspenseful thriller, which proves gripping to the very end. The inclusion of police interviews and media transcripts allow us to see the story from multiple angles, and provides for a compelling reading experience. Highly recommended for fans of mystery/thrillers.
