YA
When Julia and her best friend, Liv, are attacked in the woods, Julia helps Liv get away before being captured herself. Eventually she escapes, becoming a local hero. A year later, Julia tries to unpack fractured memories that implicate Liv. This psychological mystery builds from the girls' well-developed relationship and secret-filled history, and Savage skillfully sustains tension and atmosphere.
