I didn't reread the synopsis before I picked up this book.

So yeah. I had no idea what was going on. But bonus - that helped me relate to the MC because she had no idea what has happening either!
I did, however, figure it out before she did.

Molly Pierce loses time. She'll suddenly find herself in a different place hours later than it should be. She thinks she's going crazy.

One day, she “wakes up” to find herself driving. A boy on a motorcycle appears to be trying to catch up to her, and in his hurry to rush through an intersection his tire is clipped by a passing truck.

This boy that Molly has never seen, who is lying in a puddle of his own blood as his life slips away, seems to know who she is.

And it is this event that sets in motion a course of events that will change Molly's life.

And I am glad I got to take that journey with her. I don't necessarily agree with everything that happened in the book (I loved Mabel and Sayer together), but I understand why it had to go the way that it did.

Hard to read endings are sometimes the best ones, for reasons.
