Trapped at a luxurious resort off the coast of Florida, a group of elite teens are about to have a spring break they will never forget . . . but not all of them are coming home. The star-studded team of authors behind New York Times bestsellers Blackout and Whiteout returns with a thriller full of intrigue, betrayal, and heart-stopping romance. For Thurgood Marshall Academy''s best and brightest--five friends who''ve been thick as thieves since kindergarten--this spring break is all about forgetting: they want nothing more than to wash away last year''s tragedy, and the human-shaped hole it left in their friend group. It''s a hole the new kid, Anthony Brooks, seems to fit right into. So when he invites the Five to join him on a private island for a week at his dad''s luxury resort, they agree with zero hesitation. No one''s counting on a freak tropical storm swooping in and killing the vibe. And speaking of killing, they''re also ill-prepared for the mounting collection of dead bodies... including (another) one of their own. As their dream trip unravels, everything they tried to leave behind--secrets, lies, betrayals, dead best friends--seems to be washing up on the shore of their lives for everyone to see. Will any of them make it out alive? From the bestselling, award-winning team behind Blackout and Whiteout --Dhonielle Clayton, Tiffany D. Jackson, Nic Stone, Angie Thomas, Ashley Woodfolk, and Nicola Yoon-- comes a thriller that begs the question: is it possible to outrun the worst thing you''ve ever done?
