About the Book

A teenage girl wonders if she's inherited more than just a heart from her donor in this compulsively readable debut. Seventeen-year-old Chloe had a plan: work hard, get good grades, and attend a top-tier college. But after she collapses during cross-country practice and is told that she needs a new heart, all her careful preparations are laid to waste. Eight months after her transplant, everything is different. Stuck in summer school with the underachievers, all she wants to do now is grab her surfboard and hit the waves--which is strange, because she wasn't interested in surfing before her transplant. (It doesn't hurt that her instructor, Kai, is seriously good-looking.) And that's not all that's strange. There's also the vivid recurring nightmare about crashing a motorcycle in a tunnel and memories of people and places she doesn't recognize. Is there something wrong with her head now, too, or is there another explanation for what she's experiencing? As she searches for answers, and as her attraction to Kai intensifies, what she learns will lead her to question everything she thought she knew--about life, death, love, identity, and the true nature of reality.

About the Author :
Shannon Takaoka has worked as a writer, editor, and public relations consultant in the fields of technology and life sciences. In addition to books, she is a lover of all things nerdy -- from time travel to weird science and dragons. Everything I Thought I Knew is her first novel. Shannon Takaoka lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two children. In addition to narration, Whitney's credits include commercial and industrial voiceovers, modeling, and theatrical work. She is also a singer with extensive training in jazz, musical theater, and classical genres. Outside of the studio, she can be found onstage at several West Michigan theatres, or teaching Spanish at Forest Hills Eastern Middle School. She lives in Grand Rapids with her husband.

Review :
"Narrator Whitney Dykhouse immediately pulls listeners in with her attentive and expressive portrayal of Chole, an upbeat teenager who learns she will die if she doesn't receive a heart transplant.... It's a solemn but hopeful journey, and Dykhouse's evocative performance never misses an emotional beat in this thoughtful coming-of-age story." --AudioFile Magazine "Everything I Thought I Knew is a page-turning, mind-bending story of hope and healing. The reader will root for Chloe from page one as she navigates her world post-heart transplant and tries to meld her prior reality with her new one. I couldn't put it down; it is a beautiful debut from a talented new voice in YA." --Alexandra Ballard, author of What I Lost
