YOU BELONG TO ME

Nine Perfect Strangers meets Cruel Summer in this YA psychological thriller uncovering lies, romance, and the wellness industry.

What if living your most authentic life leaves you dead? Frances Bean was always content living life on the perimeter. Until she met rich and popular Julia, daughter of famous wellness guru Deena Patterson. The "magic" skincare products, healing sound baths, and extravagant parties of Deena's company DEEP never really interested Frances before, but getting lost in Julia's gravitational pull has given Frances a newfound outlook. When Frances gets an exclusive invite to Femme, the young ambassadors of DEEP program, she is blown away by the luxury of Julia's world and Femme's focus on empowering girls to be their most true selves strikes a chord. Before long Frances finds herself invested in Femme, a whirlwind romance with Julia, and a future that feels promiseful. But when someone ends up dead at one of the infamous DEEP parties, and her memories from that night are hazy, Frances wonders if the allure of being a part of Julia's life was actually just a deadly distraction. ??Hayley Krischer is the author of two young adult novels, Something Happened to Ali Greenleaf and The Falling Girls.
