The perfect teen thriller for readers of One of Us Is Lying and The Darkest Corners!

Some secrets are best left buried...

It's been a year since Hailey's boyfriend Declan died, and Hailey is still far from okay. She's lost almost all her friends, her grades are falling, and she pretty much lives wrapped up in bed. Everyone says Declan's death was a suicide—after all, his father's gun was found near his body—but Hailey knows that the happy, confident Declan she knew would never do that. She's positive. The problem is, she can't remember anything from the day he died.

Kane, Declan's stepbrother and Hailey's best friend, thinks that everyone should move on—why relive the pain? But when Hailey sees a strange picture with a threatening message amongst Declan's belongings, she's convinced she has proof that there's more to the story. Hailey starts searching for answers and throws herself into memories her subconscious tried to make her forget...and the deeper she looks, the more she remembers.

But the truth she uncovers will be more dangerous and more devastating than she could have ever imagined.

      A girl struggles to understand her boyfriend's suicide--or to discover if it really was a suicide. For years, Hailey's life has revolved around the charismatic stepbrothers across the street. Popular, handsome Kane's her childhood best friend--they lost their virginity together as fumbling, awkward 15-year-olds. Then there's his equally charismatic stepbrother--brilliant, talented, devout Declan--a gorgeous multiracial boy (Hailey fetishizes his ethnically ambiguous features). Told from Hailey's point of view, the story jumps back and forth between the present--a year after Declan's death--and flashbacks to her intense, romantic relationship with Declan and the lead-up to his death. Hailey, whose life has fallen to pieces since that night (after a lengthy in-patient stay, she's self-harming and drinking), suffers from what her therapist calls selective retention, her brain refusing to process painful memories as suicide runs so counter to the Declan she knew. Then Declan's mother finds a strange photograph and threatening message among his things. Soon, Hailey's seeing hints of something suspicious everywhere she turns. Desperate, Hailey pushes hard, slowly unraveling relationships and secrets in her own memories. The vividly-drawn characters are consumed by the drama of their powerful feelings. The truth she finally finds is downright chilling. Most characters default to white. A twisted, engrossing tale of relationships intermingling to disaster. (Thriller/mystery. 15-18)
