About This Book
For fans of Twilight and If I Stay, "Rafa and the Real Boy" will change the way you think about love, life, death, and whatever comes after.
After losing her little brother to cancer and losing her stable home-life to divorce, Rafa Torres is dragged to a new school in the middle-of-nowhere, Minnesota with her mother. She has no friends, crippling social anxiety, and a new home that might also be home to the town's darkest secret–a tragic death of a student just a year ago. Then, when things can’t get worse, a TBI lands Rafa in the hospital, accompanied by memory gaps and hallucinations which make it difficult for her to differentiate between reality and delusion.
Things turn around when she meets Ash. He's attractive, kind, and a little mysterious, and Rafa feels like she finally has a friend. Maybe even more than a friend. In Ash, she can confide her deepest secrets and darkest fears, including the one thing she’s never talked about with anyone. The only problem? No one else seems to know he exists.
In this page-turning tale, Rafa must find out who Ash is and why no one else can see him. With the help of Ingrid, who lost her voice a year ago and cannot speak, she must race against time to get to the bottom of things all while falling in love for the first time and grappling with what's real, what might not be, and whether reality can be defined by what we can see.
