YA
The quintessential awkward new girl at an elite boarding school, Tess falls hard for downcast Max, who lost his girlfriend Becca in a tragic accident. Like Max, Tess feels haunted by Becca's memory--or is it something more? Mostly due to Tess's narration telling rather than showing, characters and relationships feel a bit underdeveloped in this homage to du Maurier's Rebecca.
