THIS IS MY STORY. NOT MY DEAD BEST FRIEND'S STORY.

Dylan Read, the legendary country pop star, has spent fifteen years learning to craft the perfect good-girl image. But Dylan is privately haunted by the loss of her best friend Kelsey, who went missing the year before Dylans meteoric rise to fame.

When Kelseys body is found at the bottom of a New England lake, Dylan is drawn back to her hometown where she must revisit their ill-fated teenage friendship and reckon with secrets that have stayed hidden for decades
