Dear Ana: A Novel
I.I.E.
A suicidal survivor hides a devastating secret from the boy who loved the girl whose heart now beats in her chest.
Description
When twenty-five-year-old Maya Ibrahim goes to the cemetery on the anniversary of her accident, it's not so she can pay her respects to the dead girl that saved her life-it's so she can finally take back the future she was robbed of ten years ago. Seconds before she can successfully carve her fate, Maya gets interrupted by Noah Davidson, and after a rocky first impression, they form an unlikely friendship. Alternating between her present, and the letters she wrote detailing the painful consequences of her survival, Dear Ana follows Maya as she tries to overcome her past and find herself again amidst all the chaos. Will she continue to hide her scars, or will she be honest and tell Noah that the heart of the girl he once loved is still beating...but in Maya instead?
