Remy Green is missing. Eight days after the death of her boyfriend, River O’Dell, the magnetic, golden-haired girl disappeared in the dead of night.
Jules Green, Remy’s cousin, is her opposite in every way: awkward, shy, and a bit strange, never feeling at home in the small town of Black Falls, NY. The only place she has ever belonged is with River and Remy. Now she’s on her own—and everyone around her believes that Remy is dead.
But Jules can still hear Remy’s voice in her head, urging her to keep looking. With the help of River’s cousin Sam, a troubled and mysterious boy, Jules starts untangling the truth of what exactly happened. Through her search, Jules must delve into the dark corners of her hometown—unearthing family secrets and hidden truths about the two people she thought she knew most.
Who was Remy, really, behind the popular-girl façade she wore? What trouble was she involved in? And can Jules find a way to save her from it? Or is this a dead girl story after all?

Sixteen-year-old Jules Green, her best friend and cousin Remy, and Remy’s 17-year-old boyfriend River live in Black Falls, N.Y. Jules views herself as frizzy-haired, strange-faced, and painfully awkward compared to Remy, who’s pretty, smart, and lovable. Jules is also secretly in love with River but has no delusions of them becoming more than just friends. As such, Jules, determined to move on, has sex with tall and handsome fellow student Bailey while at a party. Following Jules and Bailey’s encounter, the partygoers are informed that River has died in a car wreck that authorities believe was premeditated. Days later, Remy disappears, and while her friends assume she is also dead, Jules refuses to accept it. Aided by River’s mysterious 17-year-old cousin Sam, Jules begins an investigation. As cryptic clues and startling revelations surface, Jules is forced to confront hard truths she never knew about the people closest to her, even as she navigates a growing attraction to Sam, who seems to represent everything she loathes about her small town. In this propulsive pivot from Sweeney (This One’s for You), a smart and complex heroine contends with issues surrounding body image, sex, drugs, mental health, and justice. Major characters read as white. Ages 14–up. Agents: Melanie Figueroa and Taylor Haggerty, Root Literary.
