Mysteries have a way of gaining momentum. When James's boyfriend dies by suicide, a foster kid with a checkered past, no one asks too many questions. "Ash always had problems," they say. But to James, the so-called facts are just the first of many mysteries. And when the very person who can answer his questions skips town, James wonders what else is being hidden.
For readers of Adam Silvera and Gone Girl, this suspenseful YA novel explores shifting viewpoints as James seeks answers, unearthing secrets and confronting grief. Will he find the truth, or will the law of inertia keep the past in motion, forever shaping the present?
