A propulsive story of music, friendship, coming of age and the cost of fame
Dylan Read, a legendary country-music pop star, has spent fifteen years growing up in the public eye, learning to craft the perfect good girl image. But Dylan is privately haunted by the loss of her best friend Kelsey, who went missing the year before Dylans meteoric rise to fame. When Kelseys body is found at the bottom of a New England lake where they grew up, Dylan is drawn back to her home town to revisit their ill-fated teenage friendship and reckon with secrets that have stayed hidden for decades.
