This queer YA psychological thriller from the author of Some Girls Do is now in paperback!

“Shocking, captivating, and utterly chilling. A delicious thriller that will have you tearing through pages to get to the end, where you won’t be disappointed.” —Jessica Goodman, bestselling author of They Wish They Were Us and The Counselors

Sloan and Cherry. Cherry and Sloan. They met only a few days before masked men with machetes attacked the summer camp where they worked, a massacre that left the rest of their fellow counselors dead. Now, months later, the two are inseparable, their traumatic experience bonding them in ways no one else can understand.

But as new evidence comes to light and Sloan learns more about the motives behind the ritual killing that brought them together, she begins to suspect that her girlfriend may be more than just a survivor—she may actually have been a part of it. Cherry tries to reassure her, but Sloan only becomes more distraught. Is this gaslighting or reality? Is Cherry a victim or a perpetrator? Is Sloan confused, or is she seeing things clearly for the very first time? Against all odds, Sloan survived that hot summer night. But will she survive what comes next?

About the author

JENNIFER DUGAN

Jennifer Dugan is a writer, a geek, and a romantic who writes the kinds of stories she wishes she’d had growing up. She’s the author of the graphic novel Coven, as well as the young adult novels Melt With You, Some Girls Do, Verona Comics, and Hot Dog Girl, which was called “a great, fizzy rom-com” by Entertainment Weekly and “one of the best reads of the year, hands down” by Paste magazine. She lives in upstate New York with her family, their dog, a strange kitten who enjoys wearing sweaters, and an evil cat who is no doubt planning to take over the world.

Praise for Jennifer Dugan:

* “Dugan nails adolescent emotions without letting them crowd out the story’s action . . . Queer witchy teens, murder, and a homecoming dance—what more could you want?” —Booklist, starred review, on Coven

“The multiracial, intergenerational ensemble cast of queer witches facing a deadly, unknown magical threat forms a strong narrative foundation, enhanced by intense character conflict and action.” —Kirkus Reviews on Coven

“Rife with charm, personality, and a whole lot of puns.” —BuzzFeed on Melt With You

* “Appropriately sweet and messy, yet wholly satisfying, this is destined to become one of the year’s best summer beach reads.” —Booklist, starred review, on Melt With You

* “Heartfelt  and thoughtful . . . An entertaining enemies-to-lovers romance.” —Shelf Awareness, starred review, on Some Girls Do
