Review

Liv wakes up in the hospital after being in a coma for 8 days. She can't remember anything that has happened in the last four years including the accident, her entire high school experience, her "perfect" boyfriend and her falling out with one of her best friends. As Liv tries to reconcile her past memories with who she is now, she looks to her family and friends for support. However, she soon realizes that while they are all trying to protect her, they are also keeping things from her. As she begins her own self discovery, she learns that she had been living a secret life that her family knows nothing about! This is a wonderful story of finding your own inner strength to be who you want to be, not who everyone else expects you to be. A great mix of inner strength, self discovery, and romance. A worthy addition to young adult collections.

Overall Book Score: very good
