Karen McManus meets Courtney Summers in this powerful debut mystery that takes a hard look at how we treat young women and their trauma, through the lens of a missing girl and a girl trying to find herself again.

When Jo-Lynn Kirby 's former best friend-pretty, nice Maddie Price-comes to her claiming to be in trouble, Jo assumes it's some kind of joke. After all, Jo has been an outcast ever since her nude photos were leaked-and since everyone decided she deserved it. There's no way Maddie would actually come to her for help. But then Maddie is gone. . .

• We had enormous enthusiasm in-house for this buzzy YA debut, winning it in a six-figure auction. It has the appeal of a mystery, romance, and tender coming of age that will appeal to a wide audience of readers, leaving them in awe of how one book can capture the best of each genre! We will be positioning it as a mega-lead title with a blockbuster marketing campaign.
• Erica @Bloomsbury told us she had a friend from another publisher who called to say she was glad Bloomsbury got this title, because she thinks it's so special.
• Meredith Adamo will be a featured author at Winter Institute.
• A thrilling "romystery": This story is full of tension, be it from the mystery surrounding Maddie's disappearance or the romantic tension between Jo and Hudson. Readers will be dying to see how everything ends!
• Heartbreaking and healing: Jo is raped by her friend's older brother and is a victim of revenge porn. Her story will break your heart and fill the cracks with rage, but also hope for her future as she finds the strength and support to deal with what happened to her. Her story is one far too familiar to many girls and women, but will leave readers feeling understood and empowered.
• Jo and Hudson's romance is respectful and realistic, but still very steamy! It's an important and necessary portrayal of a healthy sexual relationship -- consent is sexy.
• Meredith is an insanely talented debut author who is certainly going to make a splash in the YA space.
