From Goodreads:
One girl. Two stories. Meet Fiona Doyle. The thick ridges of scar tissue on her face are from an accident twelve years ago. Fiona has notebooks full of songs she’s written about her frustrations, her dreams, and about her massive crush on beautiful uber-jock Trent McKinnon. If she can’t even find the courage to look Trent straight in his beautiful blue eyes, she sure isn’t brave enough to play or sing any of her songs in public. But something’s changing in Fiona. She can’t be defined by her scars anymore. And what if there hadn’t been an accident? Meet Fi Doyle. Fi is the top-rated female high school lacrosse player in the state, heading straight to Northwestern on a full ride. She’s got more important things to deal with than her best friend Trent McKinnon, who’s been different ever since the kiss. When her luck goes south, even lacrosse can’t define her anymore. When you’ve always been the best at something, one dumb move can screw everything up. Can Fi fight back? Hasn’t everyone wondered what if? In this daring debut novel, Moriah McStay gives us the rare opportunity to see what might have happened if things were different. Maybe luck determines our paths. But maybe it’s who we are that determines our luck.
Why I’m Waiting: Um, yes. Yes I have wondered what could have happened had I made different choices, taken different paths. Actually, I spend a nice chunk of time uselessly ruminating on those very things. I am so intrigued by this book, I don’t even know where to begin.
I like the whole double lives thing about this one. It sounds interesting, and I wonder how it will play out in the book. Plus, cool cover!

Love this cover. That’s always the first thing that draws me in. Very intriguing premise!
I’ve been excited about this for quite a while now – I love the whole ‘What if?’ aspect and can’t wait to see how that is utilized in this novel.
The cover is also definitely an eye-catcher.
Thanks for sharing this one! 🙂
I haven’t seen this one before but that cover is really pretty. I am also really intrigued by this one now. Really why did she do that. I hope we’ll find out soon. Great pick 🙂
Tanja @ Ja čitam, a ti?
Don’t we always? This reminds me of the parallel sides that Just Like Fate by Cat Patrick and Suzanne Young. 🙂

Gosh, I love alternate universe stories, and if you get to meet the same girl twice with different outcomes, that counts.Hope you’ll enjoy, and hope I can get around to it, too. 😉
My WoW, and my 2 Year Blogoversary Giveaway is still running!

This one looks really interesting! Great pick!
This one looks like it’s going to be really amazing! The cover is gorgeous too!

A “Sliding Doors” premise is so very cool! Love the way the cover ties into the book description… there’s something kind of unsettling about the way half her face is real and half is a drawing.
My WoW
I’m waiting for Gates of Thread and Stone but it’s going to be released in August no this week. 😛 But wait yours is in March 15th, 2015 ouch!! Original cover that book has 🙂
