Unraveling

Unraveling by Norris, Elizabeth. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780062103734.

Reminiscent of Before I Fall, Elizabeth Norriss Unraveling blends realistic coming-of-age issues and heart-stopping romance with something just a little bit more. In this case, a gripping science fiction world. Unravelings heroine, seventeen-year-old Janelle Tenner, is used to having a lot of responsibility. She balances working as a lifeguard in San Diego with an intense academic schedule. Janelles mother is bipolar, and her dad is a workaholic FBI agent, which means Janelle also has to look out for her younger brother.

And that was before she died...and is brought back to life by Ben Michaels, a mysterious, alluring loner from her high school. The more Janelle tries to figure him out, the more she starts to believe hes connected to a case her father is working on. The one where people are dying of radiation poisoning and the body count is rising. The one that involves a strange clock that seems to be counting down to the earths destruction. If Janelle wants to stop the clock and save the world, she has twenty-four days to uncover Bens secrets--and keep from falling in love with him.

From debut author Elizabeth Norris, comes this shattering novel of one girls fight to save herself, her world, and the boy she never saw coming.
