What to expect

This audiobook is read by Lauryn Allman, narrator of The Housemaid by Freida McFadden.

'One of the greatest storytellers of our time' - Delia Owens, bestselling author of Where the Crawdads Sing


From the number one bestselling author of The Women, in Kristin Hannah’s Night Road, the consequence of one terrible night changes a group of young people’s lives forever.

'There was a beauty in chaos, a wildness that hinted at things gone wrong and mistakes overcome'

Lexi and Mia are inseparable from the moment they start high school. Though different in so many ways – Lexi is an orphan and lives with her aunt on a trailer park, while Mia is a golden girl blessed with a loving family and a beautiful home – they nonetheless recognize something in each other, and Mia comes to rely heavily on Lexi’s steadfast friendship.

The summer they graduate is a time they’ll never forget; a summer of love, best friends and shared confidences. But then one night changes them forever. As hearts are broken, loyalties challenged and hopes dashed, the time has come to leave childhood behind and learn to face a new future . . .

Praise for Kristin Hannah:

'Stuns with sacrifice. Uplifts with heroism' – Bonnie Garmus, bestselling author of Lessons in Chemistry

‘Moving and unforgettable’ – Christy Lefteri, bestselling author of The Beekeeper of Aleppo

‘A classic storyteller’ – Matt Haig, bestselling author of The Midnight Library
