What to expect

Kate Willis, a psychiatrist and researcher for unexplained extraordinary human experiences, is called to investigate the case of a six-year-old Massachusetts girl who claims to remember details of a past life.

As usual, Kate expects to find a simple explanation. Instead, she is shocked to discover that the child seems to know eerie details about Kate's childhood friend, Becca, who vanished one summer fifteen years ago.

Forced to confront her own memories of that fatal summer evening, Kate must piece together two mysteries that threaten to overcome her...

Critics Review

Everything I adore in a book: relatable characters; thrills and chills; a layered, propulsive plot; and enormous heart. It's about secrets, loss, grief, and love, and I still have chills of the very best kind. Stunning
JENNIFER NIVEN
My favorite type of story: part supernatural investigation, part small-town mystery, and utterly captivating from the first page to the last. Lauren Oliver seamlessly blends the supernatural with the psychological in a twisted, decades-spanning puzzle that kept me guessing right up until the very end. I devoured this book
LAUREN THOMAN
PRAISE FOR BESTSELLING AUTHOR LAUREN OLIVER

Closer
A startling piece of writing that is utterly believable and beautifully told... If you only read one book this year, it should be this one
Bookbag
A sharp and harrowing mystery for the digital age . . . An immersive and captivating reading experience. I inhaled this book like a gulp of fresh air after a long swim
Lauren Thoman, acclaimed author of I’ll Stop the World
Formally inventive, swimming in the murky waters of the Discord server and the true crime podcast, this novel will have you thinking twice about girls who disappear. This book is absolutely not to be missed
Hayley Scrivenor, internationally bestselling author of Dirt Creek
