A teenage boy suffering from delusions copes with the unexpected loss of his girlfriend in this gripping new novel fromĀ New York TimesĀ bestselling author Beth Revis.
Seventeen-year-old Bo has always had delusions that he can travel through time. When he was ten, Bo claimed to have witnessed the Titanic hit an iceberg, and at fifteen, he found himself on a Civil War battlefield, horrified by the bodies surrounding him. So when his concerned parents send him to a school for troubled youth, Bo assumes he knows the truth: that heās actually attending Berkshire Academy, a school for kids who, like Bo, have āsuperpowers.ā
At Berkshire, Bo falls in love with Sofia, a quiet girl with a tragic past and the superpower of invisibility. Sofia helps Bo open up in a way he never has before. In turn, Bo provides comfort to Sofia, who lost her mother and two sisters at a very young age.
But even the strength of their love isnāt enough to help Sofia escape her deep depression. After she commits suicide, Bo is convinced that sheās not actually dead. He believes that sheās stuck somewhere in timeāthat he somehow left her in the past, and now itās his job to save her.
Not since Ned VizziniāsĀ Itās Kind of a Funny StoryĀ has there been such a heartrending depiction of mental illness. In her first contemporary novel, Beth Revis guides readers through the mind of a young man struggling to process his grief as he fights his way through his delusions. As Bo becomes more and more determined to save Sofia, he has to decide whether to face his demons head-on, or succumb to a psychosis that will let him be with the girl he loves.
