Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places and Holding Up the
Universe
After her parents' bitter divorce, family vacations to the Big Island in
Hawaii ceased. But across the miles, eighteen-year-old Tegan Rossi
remains connected to local Kai Kapule, her best friend from childhood.
Now, Tegan finds herself alone and confused about how she got to the Big
Island. With no wallet, no cell phone, purse, or plane ticket, Tegan
struggles to piece together what happened. She must have come to
surprise-visit Kai. Right?
As the teens grow even closer, Tegan pushes aside her worries and gets
swept away in the vacation of her dreams. But each morning, Tegan
startles awake from nightmares that become more difficult to ignore.
Something is eerily amiss. Why is there a strange gap in her memory? Why
can't she reach her parents or friends from home? And what's with the
mysterious hourglass tattoo over her heart?
Kai promises to help Tegan figure out what is going on. But the answers
they find only lead to more questions. As the week unfolds, Tegan will
experience the magic of first love, the hope of second chances, and the
bittersweet joy and grief of being human.
