Gone Before You Knew Me

By: Wildermuth, Renate

Told through a series of redacted confessions recorded by a secret agency, this is the story of Talya-- a girl who's equal parts Katniss Everdeen and Harriet the Spy. Sharp-eyed and fiercely independent, she navigates crushes, cliques, bullies, and conspiracies, all while proving one undeniable truth-- high school is pure torture. Having lost her parents and her memory, Talya's only goal is to survive senior year. When Axel walks into her English class, she's convinced he's a spy who holds the key to her past and can save her from a sinister plot. After she stumbles upon a real conspiracy, Axel reluctantly gives her the tools to protect herself. But Talya has secrets of her own-- and even under interrogation, she won't admit the real reason she's drawn to the enigmatic, attractive new student. When the homecoming football game explodes into an international crisis, Talya discovers she's not just at risk-- she may be the biggest threat of all.
