From the author of She Regrets Nothing, which BuzzFeed called a "sharp,
glittering story of wealth, family, and fate," a vivid novel about a
young Olympic skier who loses everything and reinvents herself in Buenos
Aires, where she meets a man keeping dark secrets of his own.Katie
Cleary has always known exactly what she wants: to be the best skier in
the world. As a teenager, she leaves her home to live and train full
time with her two best friends, brothers Luke and Blair. Their wealthy
father hires the best coaches money can buy and after years of training,
the three friends are the USA's best shot at bringing home Olympic gold.
But as the upward trajectory of Katie's elite skiing career nears its
zenith, a terrifying truth about her sister becomes impossible to
ignore--one that will lay ruin not only to Katie's career but to her
family and her relationship with Luke and Blair. With her life shattered
and nothing left to lose, Katie flees the snowy mountainsides of home
for Buenos Aires. There, she reinvents herself and meets a colorful
group of ex-pats and the alluring, charismatic Gianluca Fortunado, a
tango teacher with secrets of his own. This beautiful city, with its
dark history and wild promise, seems like the perfect refuge, but can
she really outrun her demons? "Searing, gripping...a complicated story
of sisterhood unlike any told before" (Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of
Daisy Jones & The Six), We Came Here to Forget explores what it means to
dream, to desire, to achieve--and what's left behind after it all
disappears.
