Description

With all the intensity and whiplash turns of Sharp Objects and One of Us Is Lying, this engrossing psychological thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver is an unforgettable, mesmerizing tale of exquisite obsession, spoiled innocence, and impossible friendships.

It’s been five years since Summer Marks was brutally murdered in the woods.

Everyone thinks Mia and Brynn killed their best friend. That driven by their obsession with a novel called The Way into Lovelorn the three girls had imagined themselves into the magical world where their fantasies became twisted, even deadly.

The only thing is: they didn’t do it.

On the anniversary of Summer’s death, a seemingly insignificant discovery resurrects the mystery and pulls Mia and Brynn back together once again. But as the lines begin to blur between past and present and fiction and reality, the girls must confront what really happened in the woods all those years ago—no matter how monstrous.

    Lauren Oliver has done it again. Her writing drags you into the world of Brynn and Mia and you go through every heart breaking discovery as if you were there. Absolutely heart wrenching, pulse raising, and incredible read.

    This book was amazing. I loved every second of it. The ending was surprising in a very good way, and how Oliver ended it gave me chills. 10/10 would recommend to any mystery lovers.

    This book was really good. I liked it, although it was creepy and slightly disturbing, it was interesting and really pulled me in. It does have pedophilia and animal violence, but it doesn’t promote them. It has a very complex storyline and I would recommend it to people who like One of Us is Lying, All of This is True, and other teen psychological thrillers. There’s also a slight element of Narnia, Bridge to Terabithia, and Lord of the Rings.
