From Lois Metzger, the acclaimed author of A Trick of the Light, comes a work of speculative fiction set in the near future about a teen girl who gains a new perspective on her life. Perfect for readers who enjoyed Adam Silvera's More Happy than Not.

Rose has changed. She still lives in the same neighborhood and goes to the same high school with the same group of kids, but when she woke up today, something was a little different. Her clothes and her hair don't suit her anymore. The dogs who live upstairs are no longer a terror. She wants to throw a party--this from a girl who hardly ever spoke to her classmates. There's no more sadness in her life; she's bursting with happiness.

But something still feels wrong to Rose. Because until very recently, she was an entirely different person--a person who's still there inside her, just beneath the thinnest layer of skin.

Lois Metzger was born in Queens and has always written for young adults. Her novels include the acclaimed A Trick of the Light and Change Places with Me.
