About this ebook
A seductive and mesmerizing story of obsessive love from the New York Times bestselling author of The Rules of Magic.
After nineteen years in California, March Murray returns to the small Massachusetts town where she grew up. For all this time, March has been avoiding her own troubled history, but when she encounters Hollis—the boy she loved so desperately, the man who has never forgotten her—the past collides with the present as their reckless love is reignited. This dark romantic tale asks whether it is possible to survive a love that consumes you completely. The answers March Murray discovers are both heartbreaking and wise, as complex as they are devastating—for in heaven and in our dreams, love is simple and glorious. But it is something altogether different here on earth...

This is a dark tale about love and how you can lose yourself without knowing it, the way an abuser will manipulate a victim's circumstances to remain dependent on the abuser and how friendship may be the most important aspect of being human.
