Critics Review

Part mystery, part bildungsroman, and part paean to female friendship, Zang’s debut examines our cultural obsession with beautiful dead women–and, against a world that might prefer them silent, cold, and pretty, the lengths to which two best friends will go to remain vital, messy, and true to themselves, their bravery reverberating across timelines. * Ashley Winstead, bestselling author of Midnight is the Darkest Hour *
