The Weight of Water

From the author of the award-winning novel The Gravity of Lies comes The Weight of Water, a profoundly moving story that delves into the many facets of loss while exploring the diverse and familiar ways in which we grieve. HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO FORGET? Seventeen-year-old Sailor Byrd is counting down the days until her eighteenth birthday. Only then will she be free to live her dream. But when her sister tragically drowns in the ocean, her entire world shatters into a million pieces. Desperate to escape the ghostly visions and the unbearable weight of her guilt, Sailor flees her beloved coastal town for the bright lights of Vegas. There, she meets Elena, an intriguing girl with a dark and troubled past, and she's swept into a world of high stakes, daring escapades, and smiley-faced pills that promise to smooth the edges of her grief. But when those edges begin to fray toward a dark and irreversible fate, Sailor must face the past she's been running from-or risk losing herself forever.
