Description

I Know What You Did Last Summer meets The Girl on the Train(Marie Claire) from the author ofWe Were Never Here, a Reese's Book Club pick

The feeling of dread when you cant remember what you did last night is taken a terrifying step further

Edie was once the shining star in her 20-something circle in New Yorks coolest neighbourhood. Like Andy Warhols muse, the seductive, beguiling and mercurial party girl had the social world in her thrall. Every girl wanted to be Edie, every boy wanted her, and she and her clique treated their slice of the city like a playground.

When Edie committed suicide at the end of a long, drunken night, no one could quite believe it. An overwhelming mix of grief, shock and resentment drove each of her devoted friends into their own corner and, for years, thats where they stayed.

Ten years later a chilling chance reunion forces Edie's best friend to wonder if there was more to her death. When a deeply unsettling video from that wild and terrible, hazy night emerges she starts to wonder if Edie was actually murdered and, worse, if she herself was involved.

As Lindsay turns detective on her own life, revisiting events everyone would rather forget and interrogating her own fractured memory, she is forced to confront the demons of her past. In a shocking twist, the truth emerges of what really happened that night ...

If youve ever woken up unsure of what happened the night before and then proceeded to do it againoh my, this is your book. Caroline Kepnes, bestselling author of You and Providence

Bartz has crafted a terrifying and delicious narrative in the vein of Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins. A compulsively readable journey into the dark corners of memory. Jo Piazza, bestselling coauthor of The Knockoff
