". The New York Times. "In her debut, the first in a projected series, Henry proves herself to be a smooth and compelling storyteller. And her lead is highly appealing: an athletic, fiercely independent young woman who, like crime-fiction author Gillian Flynn's feisty females, is capable of making delightfully acerbic observations.". Booklist. "Sara J. Henry's debut starts with a bang--or, more literally, a splash--and doesn't let up until the final page.". BookPage.

Her attachment to him--and the danger she faces when she tries to unravel the mystery of his abandonment--force her to evaluate everything she thought true about herself. Sara J. Henry's riveting, award-winning debut will keep readers engrossed right up to its shattering conclusion. From the Hardcover edition.. Media Type: eBook.
