What this book is about
Five years ago, Lucy Chase woke up covered in blood beside her dead best friend Savannah. She was never charged, but everyone — including Lucy herself — suspects she did it. When a true crime podcast revives the case and Lucy returns to the town where it happened, buried memories begin to surface. A sharp, darkly funny thriller about guilt, memory, and what we're capable of in our worst moments.
