When Addison Sullivan gets in a bus accident, she starts
seeing a boy her age everywhere. No one else, however, can see him. When she
goes to a brain research clinic called Overton, she finds out she’s been there
at least once before, but has no memory of it. Who is the boy she keeps seeing?
Is he a ghost? Why did she go to Overton before? Are they connected?
At the times the character’s motives are questionably
believable, but they are intriguing and draw the reader into the story. Told
between two timelines, the plot is well-written and hard to put down. The
conclusion is slight unsatisfying, but ties up loose ends and show the main
character’s growth. Fans of realistic fiction with supernatural elements,
mystery, and self-discovery novels will enjoy reading this book.
