EDGAR AWARD NOMINEE • Escape to a small backwater town where secrets linger and innocence is shattered in this arresting coming-of-age novel.
“Lush, mysterious, utterly compelling.”—Ellen Hopkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Crank trilogy
“A perceptive, contrapuntal character study with a light thriller flavor.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
An end of the innocence . . .
Becca has always longed to break free. Free from her backwater hometown. Free from its small-town gossip and dead-end lives. But the horrifying discovery of a dead body—an outsider, Amelia Anne, battered and broken—on the morning after graduation sends Becca into an unexpected tailspin. As the violence of the real world creeps close to home, Becca retreats, paralyzed from moving forward for the first time in her life. Meanwhile, Becca’s and Amelia’s parallel stories twist closer and closer to the horrifying truth.
