Becca and Johnny become entangled after a car crash steals the lives of two people they love. Officially, the crash is an accident. But Becca and Johnny are convinced: someone did this.
As they plot revenge against the person responsible, a bond--intense, unyielding, and manic--takes hold of them. And in an unexpected turn of events, they fall for each other.
Or so they think.
In an upside-down world where decay is beautiful and love and hate become one, Becca and Johnny find themselves grappling with reality. Nothing is exactly what it seems, including what they've come to believe about the crash. Question is: will they learn the truth before it's too late?
No. The question is: when they learn the truth, will they care?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this unsettling thriller from Klehr (The Cutting Room Floor), Detroit teenagers Becca Waters and Johnny Vega are brought together by a car accident that takes the lives of Johnny's mother and Becca's twin sister. Shifting among Johnny, Becca, and an anonymous user posting on the confessional website Hush, Klehr provides multiple perspectives on events both before and after the accident, which Becca doesn't believe to be accidental at all. As Klehr gives a glimpse into the mindset of an individual bent on getting payback, she slowly reveals the intricacy of Becca and Johnny's revenge plan, even as their relationship begins to deteriorate. Klehr starkly describes how far two teens will go for their loved ones, with Becca blinded by rage and Johnny blinded by love. While the final revelations and an inconclusive ending may not sit well with readers who like to see "justice" served, the climactic showdown is gripping, and the path to it has plenty of grim twists and turns to hold readers' attention. Ages 12 up.
