Dawn Maddox has a secret that could rewrite human history.To the students at her new high school, she's just the quiet girl with a talent for Shakespeare and a mysterious past. They don't know that she used to be Daniel Shurin-a forty-year-old scientist who traded his life for a teenage body to escape a grief that was consuming him.Living as Dawn is a performance more demanding than any role on stage. She has to learn the unwritten rules of girlhood, the weight of new friendships, and the terrifying, fizzy thrill of a first crush-all while carrying the memories of a man who lived for forty years without ever truly living.But as the "Lola" procedure becomes a global flashpoint, Dawn's double life begins to fracture. The science she created is being used as a weapon, and the "David Byrne" pseudonym she used to protect herself is now a target. In a world obsessed with the "Grass is Greener" promise of a second chance, Dawn is finding out that the hardest part of being sixteen isn't the science-it's the soul.In the end, the only thing more dangerous than the truth is the cost of keeping it hidden.
