About The Book
“Part coming-of-age story, mystery, and romance, this book has something for everyone.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Emotionally resonant…This thoughtful, atmospheric read will linger with readers.” —Publishers Weekly
“A twisty psychological drama.” —Booklist
For fans of One of Us Is Lying, this novel set during the summer in the small tourist town of Gold Fork features four teens all sharing one secret from their past—and one explosive truth that could change everything.
In a place like Gold Fork, sometimes a secret is the only thing that’s really yours.
Ana, Davis, Erik, and Georgie know that best. Bound together by a horrible tragedy from their pasts, they forged a friendship that has lasted through high school. In a town full of weekenders, they all know what it’s like to be dead enders, fated to stay trapped in a tourist destination for the rest of their lives.
But with the appearance of long-lost family members and an arsonist setting the town ablaze, it’s time to confront the fact that what brought them together years ago might be what ultimately tears them apart.
Because someone is keeping one last secret—a truth that could change everything.
