“Emily, please forgive me.” When Emily’s parents die in a plane crash, she’s left with this cryptic message that her mother scrawled in lipstick on the airplane.

At school her public tragedy captures the attention of more than just the media—soon two very different boys are pursuing her: the cute, popular Owen and her quirky chemistry partner, Anthony. Relying on her new family, Emily must choose between the boy who helps her forget and the one who encourages her to remember, and ultimately heal.
