One warm summer night twenty-five years ago, Liza Gold and her friends celebrated their high school graduation with a party on the beach. It should have been the best night of their lives, only, one of them never came back out of the ocean. The tragedy haunted Liza Gold for years. Now, Liza is a recently divorced working mom struggling to connect with her standoffish teenager daughter Zoe when history repeats itself. Another young woman has drowned at Beach Week, and this time the victim is Zoe’s secret best friend.

Wow! This book was fantastic. Anyone who is not already a fan of Aggie Blum Thompson will be after reading this one. These are some messed up folks and the story is one that you can really sink your teeth into. How well do we really know our friends? Even those we've known "forever" may have a dark side that we never see. That's the main premise here, and it takes the main character Liza on a crazy journey that starts with events that happened to her in high school and that ultimately impact her own teenage daughter in ways she could never have imagined. This is a thrill ride that hooked me from the first page. Thompson's writing style is so engaging that you can't help but think about your own long-term friendships and wonder if there was ever something you may have even witnessed a friend doing, or that they told you about, that wasn't what you thought it was at all. Seriously, it will mess with your head, but read it anyway! Thank you to Netgalley and MacMillan-Tor/Forge for providing an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
