A summer she can’t remember
A friendship she won’t forget
Nothing much happens in Sycamore, the small village where Clara lives –
at least, that’s how it seems. She loves eating ripe mangoes fallen
from trees, running outside in the rainy season and escaping to her
secret hideout with her best friend Gaynah. There’s only one problem:
she can’t remember anything about the previous summer.
When a quirky girl called Rudy arrives from England, everything starts
to change. Gaynah stops acting like a best friend, while Rudy and Clara
roam across the island and uncover an old family secret. As the summer
reaches its peak and the island storms begin, Clara’s memory starts to
return and she must finally face the truth of what happened last year.

In this prequel to the NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING phenomenon
of TIKTOK fame, They Both Die at the End, two new strangers spend a
life-changing day together after Death-Cast make their first
fateful calls. 'If They Both Die at the End broke your heart and
put it back together again, be prepared for this novel to do the
same. A tender, sad, hopeful and youthful story that deserves as
much love as its predecessor.' Culturefly '[A] heart-pounding story
[full] of emotion and suspense.' Kirkus 'An extraordinary book with
a riveting plot.' Booklist Meet Orion and Valentino. It's the night
before Death-Cast goes live, and there's one question on everyone's
mind: Can Death-Cast actually predict death, or is it an elaborate
hoax? Orion Pagan has waited years for someone to tell him that
he's going to die, given his serious heart condition. Valentino
Prince has a long and promising future ahead of him and only
registered for Death-Cast after his twin sister nearly died in a
car accident. Orion and Valentino cross paths in Times Square and
immediately feel a deep connection. But when the first End Day
calls go out, their lives are changed for ever - one of them
receives a call . . . the other doesn't. Told with acclaimed author
Adam Silvera's signature bittersweet touch, this story celebrates
the lasting impact that people have on each other and proves that
life is always worth living to the fullest. PRAISE FOR ADAM
