Summary

"This audiobook is essential listening. Narrators Therese Plummer and Emily Shaffer shine as Lo and Bea Denham, two teenage sisters whose lives are upended when their parents are killed in a car accident." (AudioFile Magazine)

From Courtney Summers, the New York Times best-selling author of the 2019 Edgar Award Winner and breakout hit Sadie, comes her electrifying follow-up - a suspenseful, pulls-no-punches story about an aspiring young journalist determined to save her sister, no matter the cost.

Lo Denham is used to being on her own. After her parents died in a tragic car accident, her sister Bea joined the elusive community called The Unity Project, leaving Lo to fend for herself. Desperate not to lose the only family she has left, Lo has spent the last six years trying to reconnect with Bea, only to be met with radio silence.

When Lo’s given the perfect opportunity to gain access to Bea’s reclusive life, she thinks they’re finally going to be reunited. But it’s difficult to find someone who doesn’t want to be found, and as Lo delves deeper into The Project and its charismatic leader, she begins to realize that there’s more at risk than just her relationship with Bea: her very life might be in danger.

As she uncovers more questions than answers at each turn, everything Lo thought she knew about herself, her sister, and the world is upended. One thing doesn’t change, though, and that’s what keeps her going: Bea needs her, and Lo will do anything to save her.

A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books

"The narrators beautifully build suspense, and the intensity never falters. This is one of those compelling audiobooks that will have listeners driving around or walking an extra block just so they can listen longer." (School Library Journal, starred review)

"[A] deeply disconcerting investigative thriller that seems unassuming but worms under the skin and into the mind." (Booklist, starred review)

"A powerful, suspenseful, and heartbreaking thriller about identity, sisterhood, and belonging." (Kirkus, starred review)

Not bad, but not great

***spoilers ***

I was really looking forward to this book but its slow moving with a depressing end.

I am also bored of the women falls for narcissist trope, especially when the character already knows he's a evil.

I believe that Bea would get sucked in by Lev but I didn't believe for a minute that Lo would. it would have been a better end if she was undercover and hot him locked up instead of the "oh and she killed him" end that they tacked on like the was a kid would end a story with "and it was all a dream.

an amazing book but not for everyone

i think this book is for a specific audience and I happened to be one of them. I felt manipulated and felt like the main character did, I felt like I was in her shoes. the twist at the end I honeslty didnt see coming. the main character is definitely not likeable but that made it more realistic imo and it didnt bother me.

the narrator did a good job tbh and I have no bigger complaints about it. but I wish there was a bigger difference in the two narrators cause every switch in perspective I was confused whose perspective it was
