The Opposite of Here

There´s no hiding on a cruise ship-not even from yourself. Natalie´s parents are taking her and her three best friends on a cruise for her seventeenth birthday. A sail-a-bration, they call it. But it´s only been a few short months since Natalie´s boyfriend died in a tragic accident, and she wants to be anywhere but here. Then she meets a guy on the first night and sparks fly. After a moonlit conversation on a secluded deck of the ship, Natalie pops down to her cabin to get her swimsuit so they can go for a dip. But when she returns, he´s gone. Something he said makes her think he might have . . . jumped? No, he couldn´t have. But why do her friends think she´s crazy for wanting to make sure he´s okay? Also, why do they seem to be hiding something from her? And how can she find him when she doesn´t even know his name? Most importantly, why is the captain on the intercom announcing the urgent need for a headcount? With her signature thrilling storytelling, the author of The Leaving and The Possible explores our vulnerability to the power of suggestion-and the lies we tell others and ourselves-in a twisting, Hitchcock-inspired mystery with high stakes and dark secrets.
