Description
Cat's life was forever changed by her friendship with Marlena, a charismatic and troubled girl who lived just next door. Their intense bond was forged in a single, obsessive year, but ended in tragedy when Marlena drowned in the woods nearby. Years later, Cat is forced to confront the memories of that pivotal time once again. As she struggles to move on, Cat must face the lingering presence of Marlena's ghost and the complicated emotions that still linger from their friendship. This powerful and thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of female relationships and the lasting impact of trauma. Julie Buntin's debut novel is a riveting and intelligent portrayal of a young woman's journey towards healing and self-discovery.
