I can remember everything from that night so clearly. The trees, the rain, the trashy radio in Ethan's car. Pria Bhattacharya standing me up every chance she got. And yet, with one teenage boy dead and to girls without answers, nothing had ever seemed so suspicious. For a suspect in a murder, you'd assume I had secrets to what really happened that night. But frankly, I am so to disappoint you. I do not. Only, someone else does.
Now with my new medication and the aftermath of a crash so terrible it destroyed our pulled apart every crack in our tiny town, who'd be surprised that my guilt wouldn't arise into answers?
Or maybe they are just dreams.
With every Deja Vue that hits harder, how much longer will I be able to see the line between what actually happened, and what I believed could have happened?

"I'm gonna gush about your book real quick...all the technology has a purpose and is beautifully explained so I can picture it in my mind...the whole concept of the book is completely original...*moment of silence for your beautiful arch of character development* everything your characters do is strictly them but they develop enough to show more about themselves without you straight up telling the reader about them" -Vairl9023
