What this book is about
Samantha wakes up on the side of a road with no memory of who she is, covered in mud and terrified. Returned to her life, she discovers she was a mean girl whose best friend Cassidy is missing. As fragmented memories return and strange notes appear, Samantha begins to fear what she might know about what happened to Cassidy. Armentrout's YA thriller deals with memory, identity, and the unsettling question of who we are when we can't remember.
