YA
After surviving a horrific (and widely televised) car accident and eight comatose days in the hospital, Liv wakes up with no memory of the last four years. In the weeks that follow, Liv feels pressured to slip back into a life she doesn't recognize. While Liv's unusual identity struggle is sensitively and thoughtfully portrayed, a too-brief timeline leaves this realistic novel feeling insubstantial.
