Liv has lived the life of beauty pageants and reality television for as long as she can remember. Her life has been about performing and looking beautiful. Her brother, Jory, born with partial facial paralysis, has spent most of his life staying out of the spotlight. They have grown apart over the years, but yet as siblings their lives have always been intertwined. When Liv sues for emancipation from their parents, Jory thinks that is just another publicity stunt, but then their parents mysteriously disappear: one moment they are there and then they are not. This is the first clue that reality may be unstable. In an attempt to find their parents, Liv and Jory set out on a road trip that twists and turns their world upside down. As they drive in circles that seem to make no sense, Liv and Rory are forced to confront their memories and search for the truth. Told in alternating chapters by Liv and Jory, this book will keep readers guessing until the end. Recommended for fans of Lauren Oliver’s Before I Fall and Broken Things. This book will be of high interest to readers looking for intense, psychological thrillers. Recommended for Grades 8 and up.
