E. Lockhart
Once, in a small New England town known for its hot springs, something terrible happened. Something that should have been a warning to stay away from the pools, if the stories were to be believed.
But no one is afraid of the water anymore, even if they should be.
When new girl Lexie meets golden boy Chester, their chemistry is undeniable. She’s running from a glittering life she won’t speak about. He’s hiding secrets of his own. Their connection feels bigger than both of them, despite their damage.
One frigid winter morning in that small New England town, five people go for a swim in the pools. Five people, including Chester. What happens there sends shock waves through the town, changing life as Lexie knows it forever.

The effect is mesmerizing and dramatic, allowing this tender and unusual love story to unfold like a medieval ballad meant to be read aloud or told and retold." —The Horn Book, starred review
"A lyrical, genre-blending exploration of devotion and grief, using a mix of poetry and prose to propel a fairy-tale–inspired romance....An ethereal weave of folklore and modern yearning." —School Library Journal
