What if your life wasn’t your own?
Liv comes out of a coma with no memory of her
past and two distinct, warring voices inside her head. Nothing, not even her
reflection, seems familiar. As she stumbles through her junior year, the voices
get louder, insisting she please the popular group while simultaneously
despising them. But when Liv starts hanging around with Spencer, whose own
mysterious past also has him on the fringe, life feels complete for the first
time in, well, as long as she can remember.
Liv knows the details of the car accident that
put her in the coma, but as the voices invade her dreams, and her dreams start
feeling like memories, she and Spencer seek out answers. Yet the deeper they
dig, the less things make sense. Can Liv rebuild the pieces of her broken past,
when it means questioning not just who she is, but what she
is?
Sounds amazing, right? Now for the excerpt!
_____________________
The more the guys drank, the more adventurous they got. They
started challenging each other to do stupid things. Only they thought they were
hilarious.
Of all the
“firsts” I’ve checked off, this one has been the least fun.
Every so often Clay would turn and shoot her a smile, and it was
nice; it just wasn’t what she wanted.
Liv pulled out
her phone and looked at the time. “I better get going. I don’t want to be late
for curfew.”
Clay slid his arm
off her shoulders and took her hand. “Okay, let’s get you home.”
He couldn’t even
walk in a straight line, and she realized they had a problem. “Aren’t you too
drunk to drive?”
“I’m fine.”
The image of a
rain-soaked windshield and hazy headlights coming at her flickered in her mind.
The feeling of being completely out of control engulfed her. The screech of
metal against metal echoed through her ears. No, no, no. Do not get
in the car with him.
She yanked her
hand from his and took a step back. Hysterical emotions she didn’t fully
understand overwhelmed her. “You’re too drunk. I’m not getting in the car if
you’re driving.”
“Fine. I’ll let
you drive.” He dug his keys out of his pocket and extended them to her.
“I don’t know how.”
“Don’t worry.
I’ll help you.” He swayed and then steadied himself on her.
Liv heard
footsteps and turned around to see Spencer coming. “What’s going on?” he asked.
“I need to go
home, but Clay’s too drunk to drive.”
“I’ll take you,”
Spencer said.
Clay tightened
his arm around her waist. “No way. I’m taking her home.”
“You don’t want to get hurt, do
you?” Spencer’s jaw was set, fists clenched by his sides.
Is he threatening Clay?
“And you don’t
want Liv to get hurt, either. Right? That’s why I’m going to drive her
home.” Spencer held out his hand. “Come on, Liv.”
She almost took
his hand—she really wanted to—but her conscience wouldn’t let her leave Clay
like this. “What if he tries to drive himself home and something happens?”
Spencer glanced
from her to Clay and made a sort of half-sigh, half-groan noise. “Give me your keys, Armstrong.”
Clay glowered at
him for a moment, then handed him the keys. “Fine.” He pulled her toward his
car and opened the back door. “You can watch us cuddle in the backseat.”
Liv stepped out
of Clay’s grasp. “I’m going to sit up front with Spencer. I’m not sure I want
this night to end with me being puked on.”
Clay fell into
the seat, a hurt look on his face.
Spencer shoved
the door closed and shot her a sidelong glance. “Funny, I’d think you’d be
extremely sure about not wanting to be puked on.”
“Very funny.”
He held the passenger door open for
her, waited for her to get in, and then walked around the front of Clay’s car.
Liv wanted to hug
him—of course, she always wanted to hug him, but tonight, even more than usual.
With him behind the wheel, she felt safe again.
“Hey, Hale,” Clay said from the
backseat as they pulled onto the road, “remember that night we got wasted and
woke up with cactus all over? There were those two hot chicks there, too. That
was a really good party.”
Spencer looked over at her, then
back at the road. His voice was quiet when he spoke. “Yeah. The reason I know
he’s a jerk is because I used to be just like him. Bet you’re rethinking my
friendship now.”
“You’re not a jerk,” she said.
“What did you think about me when we
first met?”
“Well, your words said mean, but
your actions said nice. So yes, I thought you were rude at first. But then I
got to know you, and I don’t buy the jerk thing.”
“That’s because you don’t know the
whole story.”
“So tell me.” Liv kept her eyes
trained on him. “Just tell me already.”
His gaze remained
on the road and his mouth set in a straight line.
With every second
that passed, it became clearer and clearer that he wasn’t going to answer. “You
know what? It doesn’t matter to me. Because I know who you are now. You’re the
guy who made sure I was safe tonight, even though I didn’t ask you to. That’s
what matters to me.” She reached over and squeezed his hand.
He moved his hand
from under hers and she thought he was pulling away, like he always did.
Instead, he twisted it so their palms were together, and he laced his fingers
with hers.
Heat ran up her
arm; her heart raced. Worried the slightest movement or wrong word would cause
him to pull away, she held her breath and stayed perfectly still.
Spencer’s solemn expression relaxed.
Calm replaced the storm.
When Clay
groaned, Liv jumped. She’d forgotten he was even in the car with her and
Spencer. “Dude, I’m so going to ralph if you don’t stop taking those turns so fast.”
Great. Now Spencer’s going to pull
away.
She braced for it, telling herself
not to let it hurt her feelings. But Spencer gave her half a smile and squeezed
her hand.
