Publisher's Summary
For fans of We Were Liars and How I Live Now comes an addictive, sexy, twisty YA novel you won't want to miss.
Every October, Cara and her family become inexplicably and unavoidably 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. This accident season - when Cara; her ex-stepbrother, Sam; and her best friend, Bea, are 17 - is going to be a bad one. But not for the reasons they think.
Cara is about to learn that not all the scars left by the accident season are physical: There's a long-hidden family secret underneath the bumps and bruises. This is the year Cara will finally fall desperately in love, when she'll start discovering the painful truth about the adults in her life, and when she'll uncover the dark origins of the accident season - whether she's ready or not.
What the critics say
"Fowley-Doyle’s stunning debut novel weaves the temporal and the spiritual into a seamless reality, rich in emotional impact. Devastating loss and abuse are balanced by romance, teen hijinks, and spine-tingling discoveries. This thought-provoking narrative will cast its spell over older teens and adults alike." (School Library Journal, starred review)
"Ghosts, secrets, and magic collide in this Irish author's astonishing debut. A moving portrait of a fractured family, knitting itself back together with courage and love. A powerful novel from an exciting new talent." (Kirkus, starred review)
"Beautifully crafted and atmospheric, the magic realism of this book gradually peels away to expose secrets and reveal unexpected truths. Readers will be swept away by Fowley-Doyle’s lyrical writing and entrancing premise in this tale of forbidden love and magic." (Booklist)
