Betrayals and hurts both new and old threaten to eclipse the memories she once cherished. The search for answers about her future draws Lake more deeply into the secrets of her past until she begins to question everything about those closest to her. Mere weeks away from turning eighteen, Lake faces an impossible choice.Įnvisioning life without one of the people she loves most is shattering enough, but Lake carries an additional burden: years ago, under family pressure, Lake secretly-and illegally-promised her resurrection to someone who isn’t even dead yet.
Under the new laws regulating the process, each person gets one resurrection to be used or forfeited on their eighteenth birthday. The development of resurrection technology has changed the world. The car crash claimed the lives of her best friend and boyfriend, the people who had become her family after her own fell apart. On one cloudless, radiant summer afternoon, Lake Devereaux lost everything. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure and to live a lifetime in a single day. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today. As the fierce current of tragedy threatens to pull them under, they must learn how to swim on their own-or risk drowning together. As they struggle to heal old wounds and start falling for each other all over again, Bridge and Wil discover just how much has changed in the past year. Then Wil’s family suffers a violent loss, and Bridge rushes back to Wil’s side. But when Bridge betrayed Wil during their junior year, she shattered his heart and their relationship along with it. Under the white-hot Florida sun, they went from kids daring each other to swim past the breakers to teenagers stealing kisses between classes. Bridge and Wil have been entangled in each other’s lives for years.
