Alex is funny, good-looking, and a little shy – everything that Kate wants in a boyfriend.

Alex can’t help falling for Kate, who is pretty, charming and maybe just a little naive . . .

But one of them is hiding an unbelievable secret, and as their love blossoms, it threatens to ruin not just their relationship, but their lives . . .

An intense story of love, identity and the cost of hiding the truth, for fans of Holly Jackson, Laura Nowlin and Kathleen Glasgow.

Cat Clarke is the author of Entangled, Undone, A Kiss in the Dark, Torn, The Lost and the Found and Girlhood. She is also the co-author with V. E. Schwab of the Sunday Times bestselling adult novel The Ending Writes Itself, under the pseudonym Evelyn Clarke.

A satsifying and...all-too-credible thriller

All in all a perfect YA novel which blew me away from the start, had me gripped until the end and left me in emotional tatters
