“Loved this novel for its unparalleled and AUTHENTIC YA mental health representation (including but not limited to addiction, self-harm and grief) and UNIQUE characters (Shelbi, one lead, is practically a genius about everything having to do with the Cosmos and the other lead, Andy, is the son of a conservative Black woman politician).

When a body turns up, Ernie Cunningham, crime writer, tries to figure out who did it and why. But no one is missing from the remote resort and no one from the outside could have gotten through the storm. The longer the body goes unidentified, the more people die. This page-turner is absolutely chewing gum for the mind and I ...”
