Synopsis :

A heart-wrenching novel about best friends on a collision course with the real world from Amy Zhang, the critically acclaimed Indies Introduce and Indie Next author of Falling into Place.

Janie and Micah, Micah and Janie. That’s how it’s been ever since elementary school, when Janie Vivien moved next door. Janie says Micah is everything she is not. Where Micah is shy, Janie is outgoing. Where Micah loves music, Janie loves art. It’s the perfect friendship―as long as no one finds out about it. But then Janie goes missing and everything Micah thought he knew about his best friend is colored with doubt.

Using a nonlinear writing style and dual narrators, Amy Zhang masterfully reveals the circumstances surrounding Janie’s disappearance in an astonishing second novel that will appeal to fans of Lauren Oliver.

But as Micah’s memory returns in fractured pieces, he must ask: who was the real Janie Vivian, and what truly happened the night the world ended?

• Secret Friendship: Janie and Micah have a world of their own, built next door and kept hidden from everyone. But some secrets are too heavy to carry alone.
• Teen Angst and Revenge: A dark contemporary story exploring the razor's edge of high school, where first love turns to obsession and pranks escalate into something terrifying.
• Small Town Mystery: In the suffocating quiet of Waldo, Iowa, a girl’s disappearance rips through the community, exposing the ugly truths hidden beneath the surface.
• Emotional Suspense: A gripping, heart-wrenching novel told in dual timelines that will keep you guessing until the very last, devastating page.
