The Half Life of Molly Pierce by Katrina Leno
4.0
I didn't reread the synopsis before I picked up this book.

So yeah. I had no idea what was going on. But bonus - that helped me relate to the MC because she had no idea what has happening either!
I did, however, figure it out before she did.
Molly Pierce loses time. She'll suddenly find herself in a different place hours later than it should be. She thinks she's going crazy.
One day, she "wakes up" to find herself driving. A boy on a motorcycle appears to be trying to catch up to her, and in his hurry to rush through an intersection his tire is clipped by a passing truck.
This boy that Molly has never seen, who is lying in a puddle of his own blood as his life slips away, seems to know who she is.
And it is this event that sets in motion a course of events that will change Molly's life.
And I am glad I got to take that journey with her. I don't necessarily agree with everything that happened in the book (I loved Mabel and Sayer together), but I understand why it had to go the way that it did.
Hard to read endings are sometimes the best ones, for reasons.
