"I made my way down the sidewalks we had walked, hand-in-hand, as children on our way to her house after school. The voice in my head said we'd never actually held hands, but the voice was wrong."

This is one of those books that's not only super smartly written, but also timely in a timeless way. The challenges of being a teenager on the brink of becoming an adult will always have a great impact on the outcomes of their future. However, for the kids in the small town Hagen, these challenges have become much more. After the death of a senior star swimmer and then witnessing another senior intentionally drive into a local diner, Detective Kylie Millard begins to think these deaths are somehow related.
