"A thriller that will grip readers from the start." --Hypable
It's been one year since graduation, and Beatrice Hartley has mixed feelings about joining her friends a weekend reunion.
She's right to be worried. After a night out, they narrowly avoid a collision with a car on a deserted road. Or so they believe.
Back at the mansion where they are staying, a mysterious man knocks on the door during a raging storm. He tells them that they must make a choice: one of them will live, and the rest will die. And the decision must be unanimous.
Soon time backbends. Beatrice and her friends are forced to repeat that dreadful day so many times they lose count. With each replay, events twist and fears come alive in horrifying ways.
This nightmare, this nothingness . . . this is the Neverworld Wake.
To escape, they have to vote. But how do you choose who to kill? And then how do you live with yourself?
"Beautifully creepy." --The New York Times
"You wont be able to stop reading until the mystery is unraveled." --Refinery29
"A dark and twisty tale brimming with psychological suspense." --Bustle
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Marisha Pessl's first YA novel is a meditation on the meaning of life dressed up as a sci-fi adventure. Caught in a Groundhog Day–like time loop and haunted by a mysterious figure called The Keeper, a group of former high school BFFs have to face hard truths about their past actions. As thought-provoking as Pessl's previous novels Special Topics in Calamity Physics and Night Film, Neverworld Wake is full of thrilling and disorienting plot twists. Her compassion for even the most potentially unlikable characters adds emotional depth.
