Friends and family are pitted against each other after a tragic
accident leaves behind shattered relationships and shocking secrets. A
riveting novel by a new voice in teen fiction.
It's been almost a year since Charlotte Romer set foot in her hometown
of River John, Nova Scotia. She's been living at a boarding school hours
away, safe from the trauma and broken relationships she left behind. All
she has left in the small town is her older brother, Sean, who is
struggling to keep the lights on in their run-down family home.
Charlotte hasn't spoken to her best friend, Sophie, since the night she
fled. It's not exactly a celebratory homecoming.
On her first night home, Charlotte shows up unannounced to Sophie's
eighteenth birthday party. The trickle-down effects of that decision
haunt Charlotte for weeks. But when Charlotte reconnects with Sophie's
ex-boyfriend, Max, the two of them begin to slowly unravel what happened
the night of the accident the summer before--the night that changed
everything. Somebody knows something, and that somebody really doesn't
want Charlotte and Max to figure it out.
With a fast-paced, high-stakes plot, Alexandra Harrington's debut YA
novel will leave readers breathless until the final, shocking
conclusion.
