"Life asked death, 'Why do people love me but hate you?'

Death responded, 'Because you are a beautiful lie and I am a painful truth.'"

- Unknown





JESSICA NOBEL was never the kind of girl to make a move. She lived in her own world, fingers covered in smudged pencil and hands filled with sketchbooks with the occasional Walkman attached to her hip. The world could implode around her, but if she was drawing, she'd have no clue.

She loved two things before she died–art and Sunset Curve.

Her love for both did not fade, even in death.

Now, she's been given another chance at living, as strange as it seems. She finds herself waking up almost twenty-five years after her death to find a young medium now living in her house. Together, Jessica and Justin navigate the difficult world of ghosts.

It only gets more complicated when Jess' favorite band rises from the dead.

Hi, guys!

I've been toying around with this idea for a while, and when I finally started writing, I ended up writing about 20,000 words in less than 48 hours? So, now I just have to share it.

Also, a small warning: there are some instances of explicit language and depictions of undiagnosed mental illness as well as descriptions of death, specifically Jess' throughout this book. If there is anything extreme, I will put a warning on the chapter.

I hope you guys enjoy!
