“Lily’s the kind of girl who causes men to run into street signs and trip over chairs because they’re too busy looking at her to walk. My edit button is broken.” YES! Mine too, girl! :DĪ couple of quotes that made me relate to her:

I loved her even more when she told Michael, “Most of what comes out is complete truth. I loved her from the moment she punched Michael in the stomach and my thought was, she and I could be best friends in real life… Okay, so maybe I don’t know karate (even though I wish I did), but she’s lot like me. Why, you ask? She’s witty and fluent in sarcasm (automatic brownie points), wears Converse, hates dresses, knows karate, and she’s short. I absolutely adored her and right from the start I made a connection with her. She’s everything I want in a female protag that I wish many other books had. Who is this dark, mysterious, sympathetic guy, barely older than Emerson herself, who seems to believe every crazy word she says? Why does an electric charge seem to run through the room whenever he's around? And why is he so insistent that he needs her help to prevent a death that never should've happened? My thoughts But meeting Michael Weaver may not only change her future, it may also change her past. So when her well-meaning brother brings in a consultant from a secretive organization called the Hourglass, Emerson's willing to try one last cure. She's tried everything, but the visions keep coming back.

Plagued by phantoms since her parents' death, she just wants the apparitions to stop so she can be normal. For seventeen-year-old Emerson Cole, life is about seeing what isn't there: swooning Southern Belles soldiers long forgotten a haunting jazz trio that vanishes in an instant.
