At 17, Emma and Charlie are given a tea that is supposed to prevent polio. Every member of each ones family drinks the tea as well. The tea makes them immortal and sets a fanatical religious group on them. After a devastating attack by this group, Emma and Charlie run and are separated. For 100 years, they have no word of one another.
Emma becomes a PI, looking into the disappearances and murders of girls who beat a striking resemblance to her. She moves a lot and tries to operate under the radar. But she still loves Charlie and is always hoping to find him.
This story was definitely different. Told both from the present and the past, it weaves the history and the current situation together. Emma is interesting and likable although not exactly a friendly character. After all she's trying to protect herself.
The end felt s tad rushed but was in a way, perfect.
