From the author of FACELESS comes a gripping tale that keeps readers on edge. Seventeen-year-old Hannah Gold, raised as a miniature adult by her New York professional parents, finds herself confined to a remote treatment facility, stripped of her autonomy. She believes there’s been a mistake regarding her roommate’s accident, and she’s determined to prove she poses no danger to herself or others, hoping to return to her promising life and finish her final year of school. To cope with the boredom, Hannah aims to win over the staff and earn privileges. However, everything changes when she gets a new roommate, Lucy. Initially, Lucy seems like the perfect distraction from Hannah's confinement and the life she’s missing. Yet, Lucy becomes a catalyst for Hannah to confront the secrets she’s been avoiding and the dangerous games that led to her current situation. This powerful narrative is both heart-wrenching and thought-provoking, drawing comparisons to Girl, Interrupted and We Were Liars. The author's skillful use of suspense ensures that readers remain engaged until the very end.
