About this ebook

National Book Award finalist Julie Anne Peters returns with a compelling novel about relationships, trust, romance, and loss—with a suspenseful twist.

When Alix's charismatic girlfriend, Swanee, dies from sudden cardiac arrest, Alix is overcome with despair. As she searches Swanee's room for mementos of their relationship, she finds Swanee's cell phone, pinging with dozens of texts sent from a mysterious contact, L.T. The most recent text reads: "Please tell me what I did. Please, Swan. Te amo. I love you."

Shocked and betrayed, Alix learns that Swanee has been leading a double life—secretly dating a girl named Liana the entire time she's been with Alix. Alix texts Liana from Swanee's phone, pretending to be Swanee in order to gather information before finally meeting face-to-face to break the news.

Brought together by Swanee's lies, Alix and Liana become closer than they thought possible. But Alix is still hiding the truth from Liana. Alix knows what it feels like to be lied to—but will coming clean to Liana mean losing her, too?

Ratings and reviews

This story moved me just as much as "keeping you a secret" I love the pain anger and emptiness the character Alix feels she is only a teen and is dealing with problems 25 year olds have and can put up with them better than any of us in real life can

Currently reading the sample and will be getting the complete book its a great read and the story line is so attention grabbing

I feel in love with this book I wish it was longer though. Alix feelings moved me.
