One girl. Two stories. 

Meet Fiona Doyle. The thick ridges of scar tissue on her face are from an accident twelve years ago. Fiona has notebooks full of songs she’s written about her frustrations, her dreams, and about her massive crush on beautiful uber-jock Trent McKinnon. If she can’t even find the courage to look Trent straight in his beautiful blue eyes, she sure isn’t brave enough to play or sing any of her songs in public. But something’s changing in Fiona. She can’t be defined by her scars anymore.

And what if there hadn’t been an accident? Meet Fi Doyle. Fi is the top-rated female high school lacrosse player in the state, heading straight to Northwestern on a full ride. She’s got more important things to deal with than her best friend Trent McKinnon, who’s been different ever since the kiss. When her luck goes south, even lacrosse can’t define her anymore. When you’ve always been the best at something, one dumb move can screw everything up. Can Fi fight back?

Hasn’t everyone wondered what if? In this daring debut novel, Moriah McStay gives us the rare opportunity to see what might have happened if things were different. Maybe luck determines our paths. But maybe it’s who we are that determines our luck.

This Friday, I'm reading Everything That Makes You by Moriah McStay. It's about a girl named Fiona, and she has two different stories to tell - what really happens in her life and what could have happened if she hadn't been in an accident.

Everything That Makes You will be published on March 17, 2015, so look out for a review from me soon!

* The book isn't released yet, so this quote does not reflect the final printed book. *

"At this point, Fiona couldn't stand it. Her future teetered in the balance of these next few moments. Her brother might get a girlfriend -- she'd not spent much time thinking about this, and she didn't like the idea of it at all. But much, much worse -- she might have to play and sing her songs in front of people."
