Lyrical and haunting, this book takes readers on an emotional journey through an empty town filled only with memories.
When everyone she loved disappeared, July Fielding is left alone in a shell of a town. All the places she knows are still there, but none of the people. Someone's left an ominous message on the high school marquee. And she misses everyone.
Through flashbacks, the reader learns that July once had a thriving social life as the co-captain of the girls' track team and a college boyfriend. But an incident made her friends pull away, and now they've all disappeared, along with every other living human.
When July manages to wish her cat back into existence, she wonders if she can bring others back. Soon, she begins to suspect that she's not alone, and whoever is hiding in the shadows is leaving messages for her to follow.
July is sweet, sympathetic and broken. I enjoyed watching her try to get ahead of whoever's playing a game with her in the empty town.
