After she commits suicide, Bo is convinced that she\'s not actually dead.
But even the strength of their love isn t enough to help Sofia escape her deep depression.
In turn, Bo provides comfort to Sofia, who lost her mother and two sisters at a very young age.
Sofia helps Bo open up in a way he never has before.
So when his concerned parents send him to a school for troubled youth, Bo assumes he knows the truth: that he s actually attending Berkshire Academy, a school for kids who, like Bo, have "superpowers." At Berkshire, Bo falls in love with Sofia, a quiet girl with a tragic past and the superpower of invisibility.
When he was ten, Bo claimed to have witnessed the Titanic hit an iceberg, and at fifteen, he found himself on a Civil War battlefield, horrified by the bodies surrounding him.
