"What would you do if everyone you love disappeared? What if it was your
fault? For July Fielding, nothing has been the same since that summer
before senior year. Once, she had Alex, her loyal best friend, the one who
always had her back. She had Sydney, who pushed her during every
cross-country run, and who sometimes seemed to know July better than she
knew herself. And she had Sam. Sam, who told her she was everything and
left her breathless with his touch. Now, July is alone. Every single
person in her small town of Lithia has disappeared. No family. No Alex or
Sydney. No Sam. July's only chance at unraveling the mystery of their
disappearance is a series of objects, each a reminder of the people she
loved most. And a mysterious message: GET TH3M BACK." -- Provided by

Psychological Fiction

"Alice has always wanted to be a writer. Her talent is innate, but her
stories remain safe and detached, until a devastating event breaks her
heart open, and she creates a stunning debut novel. Her words, in turn,
find their way to readers, from a teenager hiding her homelessness, to a
free diver pushing himself beyond endurance, an artist furious at the world
around her, a bookseller in search of love, a widower rent by grief. Each
one is drawn into Alice’s novel; each one discovers something different
that alters their perspective, and presents new pathways forward for their
lives. Together, their stories reveal how books can affect us in the most
beautiful and unexpected of ways—and how we are all more closely connected
to one another than we might think." -- Provided by publisher. Unrated.
Commercial audiobook.
