Ever Bloom is the sixteen-year-old narrator of the story. Ever was in the car with her parents and sister when a deer jumped in front of them, causing an accident that kills the entire family. Ever would also have died except that she lingered and was revived. Ever's life after the crash is vastly different. Taken in by her aunt - her only biological relative - Ever has all the possessions money can buy. But she also has a strong psychic ability. She avoids touch because the emotions, thoughts, and memories of others wash over her even at the most casual touch. She can also see the auras of others which gives her a great deal of information about people. The impressions are so overpowering that Ever has developed the habit of wearing sweatshirts with hoods to hide the fact that she's listening to hard rock music in an effort to drown out the thoughts of others. An important part of Ever's life after the crash is her ability to see and interact with her younger sister, though Riley is dead. Ever's focus in life changes after the accident. She had been a cheerleader and very popular in her school in Washington prior to the accident. Following the move to California, Ever makes sure she connects with two of the outcasts of her new school, apparently in an effort to completely avoid the popular groups. She's a very pretty girl but hides that behind her lack of makeup and her choice in clothing. Ever struggles greatly with the idea that she's to blame for the accident because she pleaded with her father to return home to get a favorite article of clothing, putting them in the place where a deer jumped in front of the vehicle.
