For fans of Lunar New Year Love Story and Pumpkinheads, David Wilson’s author-illustrator graphic novel debut explores themes of life and death, the bittersweetness of first love, and the notion that perhaps your perfect soulmate is the one who helps you discover your true self. Kit is the golden boy of his small town. Captain of the football team, perfect grades, perfect relationship, perfect everything. But when his childhood best friend, Emma, mysteriously returns to town, Kit's life is thrown into turmoil.
She's the only one who knows what happened that day he fell at the cliffs—and why he woke up alone on the shore. She's also the only one who may know the truth about the strange visions he's been having—and why the people he sees in them are turning up dead.
As Kit and Emma reconnect and rekindle the past, Kit's forced to admit that things aren't as perfect as they seem. And Emma. . . well, she isn't what she seems either. Her family's been hiding a secret for generations and with Death looming over all of them, the truth can't stay buried forever.
