Review Quotes: Astra Award Winner for Best Young Adult Book!
★ "[Lockhart] weaves an appealing romance and gothic, fairy-tale, and classical references into the worldbuilding that's stylish and detailed but handled with a light touch....Atmospheric and emotionally rich." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★ "Lockhart's return to Martha's Vineyard is steeped with mystery, intrigue, and familial tension." --Booklist, starred review "A companion piece to Lockhart's Family of Liars and We Were Liars, this carries the same whisper of menace of those titles, a distinct sense that something rotten lurks under the wealth and beauty that are initially so alluring." --The Bulletin "This book's plot hinges on secrets, but an affecting emotional arc is at its core." --The Horn Book
