mystery - until she decides to return to her mother's hometown,
where history has a tendency to repeat itself . . . Ever since

Margot's questions. No history to hold on to. Just the two of them,
stuck in their run-down apartment, struggling to get along. But
that's not enough for Margot. She wants family. She wants a past.
And when she finds a photograph pointing her to a town called
Phalene, she leaves. But when Margot gets there, it's not what she
bargained for. Margot's mother left for a reason. But was it to
hide her past? Or was it to protect Margot from what's still there?

Last year, Nan's three best friends ventured into the canyons near
their small town and never returned. Now one of them is back, and Nan
can't believe it...because she's the one who killed them. From the New
York Times bestselling author of Wilder Girls comes another dark
thriller about friendship, jealousy, desire, and revenge, with a twist
ending that needs to be talked about.
Nan's story has always been the same. Last summer, she, Luce, Edie, and
Jane took a boat out for one final swim in the river. It was a perfect
summer night.
But the only one who returned that night was Nan. She maintains that
she has no idea what happened to her three friends. The girls went
ahead, and it was as though they disappeared into thin air.
Now, one year later, it's the memorial of that night. All of Saltcedar
has gathered at the river. Nan is even wearing the same clothes she
wore that fateful day last summer. And when Luce climbs out of the
water, no one is more surprised than Nan.
Because Nan killed her. Right before she killed Edie and Jane.

Hannah knows there's been a mistake. She doesn't need to be institutionalized. What happened to her roommate at that summer program was an accident. As soon as the doctors and judge figure out that she isn't a danger to herself or others, she can go home to start her senior year. Those college applications aren't going to write themselves. Until then, she's determined to win over the staff and earn some privileges so she doesn't lose her mind to boredom.
Then Lucy arrives. Lucy has her own baggage, and she's the perfect project to keep Hannah's focus off all she is missing at home. But Lucy may be the one person who can get Hannah to confront the secrets she's avoiding―and the dangerous games that landed her in confinement in the first place.
