A “creepy, satisfying thriller” from the author of You Owe Me a Murder and One Lie Too Many (Entertainment Weekly, “8 Seriously Scary Summer Reads”). For fans of We Were Liars and The Girl on the Train comes a chilling, addictive psychological thriller about a teenage girl who cannot remember the last six weeks of her life. Eighteen-year-old Jill Charron’s senior trip to Italy was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. And then the accident happened. Waking up in a hospital room, her leg in a cast, stitches in her face, and a big blank canvas where the last six weeks should be, Jill comes to discover she was involved in a fatal accident in her travels abroad. She was jetted home by her affluent father in order to receive quality care. Care that includes a lawyer. And a press team. Because maybe the accident . . . wasn’t an accident. Wondering not just what happened but what she did, Jill tries to piece together the events of the past six weeks before she loses her thin hold on her once-perfect life. “This multimedia project is a perfect thriller to stow in your beach bag.”—Teen Vogue “Prepare for lots of twists, right up until the very last chapter.”—Seventeen “[A] page-turning psychological thriller.”—Bustle For those who like a suspenseful and riveting novel.”—Glitter Guide “This book will have you turning pages as you try and decide what you believe and who you can trust.”—Parade “Cinematic scene breaks and propulsive reveals will keep the pages furiously turning in this slow-burning but explosive thriller.”—Booklist (starred review)

"A really good book, but the ending was very disappointing. Throughout the story the author introduced plot twist and made you think about a lot of stuff, but in the end it just ended up being useless."

"The suspense was good but very disappointing as it leads to nothing. The pacing starts going all over the place towards the end."

"Finally! A YA book that isn't about two teens falling in love despite the fact they can't or shouldn't be together. <br/><br/>I love thrillers; if the book is fast-paced, suspenseful, and makes you guess the ending, I will read it without hesitation. This book reminded me of the Amanda Knox trial, although I'm not sure if that was the inspiration for the novel. I have read other novels based on that trial, and I always love the outcome. What made this book so enjoyable was how Cook kept the reader guessing about what truly happened during the accident and sharing Jill's struggle to recover her memories. There were definitely some pieces of foreshadowing, but she tied loose ends in a way that I was not expecting. <br/><br/>I do wish Cook delved deeper in terms of characterization. For example, she could have used Nico's character to add another layer of confusion for her reader. Although she does attempt to do so, it fell a bit flat. Overall, this YA book is definitely a great read and I will be recommending this book to my students for their summer reading assignment."
