Where do you go when you're not quite gone?
After suffering an epileptic seizure, Kyle finds himself in a
world that looks like ours but where nothing feels the same. This
is the Stillness: an eerie, liminal alternative
reality populated by those who are caught between life and death.
Here, he meets his real-world crush, Farah, who is also unconscious
back home. But as they get to know each other in the Stillness,
they must face the possibility of forgetting each other in the
real world. The way back to life is fraught with danger, and time,
for both of them, is running out.
A. Connors was inspired to write this novel based on his own
experience with epilepsy
A slow-burn romance at the centre of the story that is perfect
for anyone who loves BookTok tropes #forcedproximity and #friendstolovers
The Stillness is a wildly imaginative world that will appeal
to fans of Erik J Brown, Patrick Ness and Netflix's Stranger
Things
Praise for The Girl Who Broke the Sea,
