Ever since her boyfriend, Trip, died after a tragic car accident, Allie has felt guilty--not only because she doesn't remember the accident, but also because she is secretly relieved to be free of Trip's abusive control over her. This debut novel offers an effective blend of mystery and romance, as Allie convincingly tries to remember the past in order to bury it.
