About this book
Lily has always shared her life with Iris, a shadowy companion only she can see who whispers guidance (or is it manipulation?) in her ear—until her father's sudden death upends everything and Iris starts pushing harder than ever toward some mysterious truth. When a captivating new boy arrives in town just as cryptic clues from her father begin surfacing, Lily realizes her whole world might be built on lies, and uncovering what really happened means confronting not just her family's secrets, but the strange, unsettling nature of Iris herself. This atmospheric mystery weaves together the intimacy of an unreliable internal relationship with the thrill of piecing together a puzzle that could change everything about who Lily thinks she is. Perfect for readers who love stories where the real twist lies in understanding what's actually real.
