Summary: The year is 1998, and like any other teenager, Jess Flynn is just trying to get through her junior year without drama. But drama seems to keep finding her. Between a new crush on her childhood best friend, over-protective parents cramping her social life, and her younger sister's worsening health, the only constant is change - and her hometown of Swickley, which feels smaller by the day. Swickley is getting weirder by the day, too. Half the population has been struck down by a mysterious flu. Conversations seem to end awkwardly when Jess enters the room. And then one day, a tiny, sleek black device - with an apple logo on it - falls out of her best friend's backpack and lands at Jess's feet. But the first iPhone won't exist for another nine years. Suddenly Jess has more questions than answers about her own life. And as she races to uncover the truth about her family, her friendships, and her town, one thing becomes clear: we all have our own version of reality.
