Author: Shelly Crane

Book Description:

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

He smiled that Mason smile that set me on fire all over. Then he put one hand on the
other side on the hospital bed and the other lifted toward my face. I waited, bated breath,
gulping, sweaty palms, fluttering eyes, the works. His face got so close before he stopped. I
thought he had decided against whatever he was doing he waited so long. I began to pull back in
disappointment, but he reached behind my neck gently and pulled me to him. The barest of
touches was the best way to describe our first kiss. It wasn't really a kiss at all. His bottom lip
barely brushed my top one. When he leaned back and opened his eyes, he must've seen the
confusion and frustration in my face.
He chuckled. "I just had to taste that coconut…" he licked his lips, "but I don't want to kiss
you when you've been angry at me and I messed up our date." He said 'date'. Like…a date. "I
want to kiss you when if we go another second without it, one of us will combust."
My breaths were raging. I tried to calm myself. "I…" I failed.
"I want to give you back your first kiss, the one that jerk stole from you. And I want it to
be something that even a coma can't make you forget."
