An advance reader invitation
Dear reader,
Noah Hollins is writing to his brother Clarke from a hospital bed with a fifty-percent chance of walking out alive. For twenty years, he's carried in his conscience what he has to say. It started the night Clarke brought Erin home, when Noah was sixteen. She looked at him once — not Clarke, him. He told himself it was nothing. For a long time, he almost believed it.
What follows is the confession Noah always meant to give and never did: unsparing, desperate, addressed to the one person he loves most and has spent half his life betraying. It's the story of how he got everything he thought he wanted at his brother's expense — and how much more he actually lost in the taking.
Now, with the ending closer than either of them is ready for — will Clarke read the whole truth, or watch it burn?
Young adult contemporary fiction. Love, loss, coming of age, and the damage a family can hand down without meaning to.
