YA
New girl Lily and classmate Cole share an eerie connection with two local teens who died in a supposed murder-suicide in 1987. Lily and Cole investigate and uncover dark family and town secrets. Despite some clichés, contrivances, and melodramatic romance, this thriller should attract readers with its complex social issues (including eating disorders and abuse), paranormal elements, surprising plot twist, and alternating narrators and time periods.
