Publisher Description
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.

“Colby Minifie’s accent immediately transports listeners to Cara’s small Irish town. She also carries listeners into Cara’s inner world, where worries about mishaps mingle with uncomfortable romantic feelings…Minifie is as masterful at registering mounting tensions as Fowley–Doyle is at increasing the story’s menace.”

“A lyrical and sometimes chilling exploration of the ways in which we manipulate memories to fall in line with our present narrative…Cara’s narration brilliantly, sometimes brutally conveys the unraveling of both Cara and her family…and the bittersweet ending will haunt readers as much it does Cara.”
