Publisher's summary

One question has haunted the claustrophobic town of West Wilmer for the past ten years: why it took Phoebe Dean’s brother and driver of the car, Grant, 27 minutes to call for help on the fateful night of the accident.

Grant Dean lost everything that night: his sister, his future, his standing in town. Still struggling under the weight of his grief and guilt, he turns to alcohol as the anniversary of Phoebe’s death ticks ever closer.

On the outskirts, quiet and isolated June Delroy is reeling from the recent death of her mother and is concerned when her troubled brother, Wyatt, returns after a decade-long absence. While she is relieved to no longer be alone, she cannot stop questioning where he has been these last ten years. And why return now?

But Wyatt Delroy knows the truth. Over the three days leading up to the decennial commemorating Phoebe Dean’s death, their grief will peak, dark secrets will be unearthed, and what really happened that rain-drenched night will finally become clear.

Slow build, but good payoff!

I thought the development of the story and characters were lovely, however I wish the ending would have had more to it! I feel that fully fleshing out the consequences of everyone finding out the truth could have been so interesting! I adore the writing style though; and upon looking for other works by the author, I found that this was her first publication. So i have high hopes that the next book she writes will be even better!! Great story overall.

Came for the story, stayed for the writing

The prose were beautiful, and the narration was great. The story was interesting, but I thought the ending was a little bit flimsy.

Trapped in Small Town Regression

I’m a big fan of thrillers and books with twists. I saw this book recommended in a lot of places so I had high hopes. The progression is excruciatingly slow. The story and the twists are interesting but it takes slogging through endless small town high school drama 10 years after the incident happened for most of the book where you can’t move forward because no characters will give up the goods to get where you need to go.

Very difficult to follow the characters

Very confusing as there were too many characters to follow and they jumped around too much
