Every October Cara and her family become inexplicably accident-prone. Some years it's bad, like the season when her father died, and some years it's just a lot of cuts and scrapes. They know what they need to do--stock up on bandages and painkillers, cover sharp table edges with padding, banish knives to locked drawers, switch off electrical items. They buckle up, they batten down. But this accident season--when Cara; her ex-stepbrother, Sam; and her best friend, Bea, are seventeen--none of that will make a difference. Because Cara is starting to ask questions. And the answers were never meant to be found. A haunting, untethered, addictive read that perfectly captures that time in our lives when our hearts crack open and the raw secrets of our true selves burst forth--whether we are ready or not. --, From dust jacket
