When a lightning strike robs Penny of her memory, she's given a second chance at friendship, love, and self-discovery.For Penny Berne, no place feels more like home than standing center stage, surrounded by a close-knit crew of the fellow drama geeks who've been her best friends forever—but a week before opening night the spring of her sophomore year, the white teen walks away from the show, her friends, her passion, and a chance at first love. Determined to keep the secret of her mother's depression and alcoholism, Penny shuns the spotlight and her crew for the distraction of a new friendship. For the first time, she'll play a supporting role, trading the stage for life as the No. 2 to the most popular girl in school. With her old friends no longer speaking to her and new friends that never quite feel like home, it takes a literal bolt of lightning in order for Penny to realize which role she was meant to play.
