It's the summer before senior year. Reid is in the thick of
Scofield High's in-crowd thanks to her best friend, Hattie, who has been her
social oxygen since middle school.

But summer is when Hattie goes to her
family's Maine island home. Instead of sitting inside for eight weeks, waiting
for her to return, Reid and their friend, Sam, enter into a pact--to live
it up, one party at a time.

But days before Hattie is due home, Reid finds out the shocking news that Hattie has
died by suicide. Driven by a desperate need to understand
what went wrong, Reid searches for answers.

In doing so, she uncovers painful
secrets about the person she thought she knew better than herself. And the
truth will force Reid to reexamine everything.
