The stunning new standalone novel from New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver.It's been five years since Mia and Brynn murdered Summer Marks, their best friend, in the woods.Increasingly obsessed with a novel called The Way into Lovelorn and by their fan-fiction imagining of its sequel, the girls were drawn by an undertow of fantasy into the magical world they'd created. But eventually, their delusions turned sick, and the Shadow, Lovelorn's central evil, began to haunt them.Or so the story goes. The only thing they didn't do it.Brynn and Mia have both found different ways to hide from their notoriety, seeking refuge from a world that hates them-a world that will never feel magical, or safe, ever again.On the anniversary of Summer's death, a seemingly insignificant discovery resurrects the mystery and pulls Mia and Brynn back together once again. But as past and present, fiction and reality, begin again to intertwine, Brynn and Mia must confront painful truths they tried for so long to bury-and face the long shadow of memory that has, all this time, been waiting.In this engrossing, twisty novel, New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver weaves an unforgettable, mesmerizing tale of exquisite obsession, spoiled innocence, and impossible friendships.***************PRAISE FOR LAUREN OLIVER'Hugely moving and gorgeously written . . . an extremely clever and well-written novel that is ultimately uplifting' - Heat on Before I Fall'This book will take your breath away' - She

I like that this is a really well crafted character portrait of Summer. In the beginning, you obviously feel sorry for this young girl getting murdered, but as the story progresses and you see how deeply flawed and manipulative she was you slowly start to dislike her more and more. Keep in mind, she died at thirteen, and that makes it even more haunting. I thought the book was a bit bloated, but I was intrigued the whole way through. The ending was pretty unsatisfactory though.

I enjoyed this. It kept me curious until the end and I think that was the goal.

3.25 suddenly i understand why this book has not so glowing reviews spoiler (it's not though): it's the ending and the reveal of the killer but, nevertheless, i enjoyed the experience until the point where we get to know who actually murdered summer, so i rate this book 3 stars instead of 2 (because this boring ass reveal deserves 2 stars imo) i really liked the characters and their relationships with each other, i thought author did very good job with them.
