Caroline George once again transports readers with lush, evocative prose, leading them to ask the question: what happens when we can’t even trust ourselves?

Some memories are better left forgotten.

Darby and Morgan haven’t spoken for two years, and their friend group has splintered. But when the body of their former science teacher is found in the marsh where they attended camp that summer, they realize they have more questions than answers . . . and even fewer memories.

No one remembers—or no one is talking.

The group of reunited friends begins to suspect that a murderer is stalking the coastal highway 30A, and they must try to recover their memories as quickly as possible . . . before the history they can’t remember repeats itself.

Everyone has a secret.

As tensions rise and time runs out, Darby and Morgan begin to wonder if they can believe one another . . . or if they can even trust themselves.


  • Young Adult suspense with romance

  • Stand-alone novel


  • Book length: 95,000 words


Illustrations are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Caroline George is the multi-award-winning author of Dearest Josephine, The Summer We Forgot, and other YA novels. She graduated from Belmont University with a degree in publishing and public relations and now dedicates her time to storytelling in its many forms.

From a small town in Georgia, Caroline now resides in an even smaller town in Wyoming, where she works for a ranch. When she’s not glued to her laptop or filming cowboys, she can be found hiking, sipping a lavender latte, or practicing her horsemanship.

Reviews

'George is an eclectic writer and weaves a mix of psychological thriller, love story, and action-filled money heist. While the book focuses on the perspectives of Darby and Morgan, the five other camp counselors play a major role in this modern-day Scooby-Doo gang. Each character is nuanced and well written, providing perspective on issues relevant to teens . . . Fans of true crime and mysteries akin to Karen M. McManus or E. Lockhart will enjoy this title. A solid addition to any collection.' This evocative, suspenseful, and gorgeous coming-of-age story is best read in one sitting. Expand reviews
