This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
After her mother’s death, a teen pieces together the truth of her family’s past and what her mom was hiding from in this thriller that’s perfect for fans of Courtney Summers and Tiffany D. Jackson.
Harlow Ford has spent her entire life running, caught in her mother’s wake as they flit from town to town, hiding from a presence that Harlow isn’t even sure is real. In each new place, Harlow takes on a new name and personality, and each time they run, she leaves another piece of herself behind.
When Harlow and her mom set off on yet another 3 a.m. escape, they are involved in a car accident that leaves Harlow’s mother fatally wounded. Before she dies, she tells Harlow two things: where to find the key to a safety deposit box and to never stop running. In the box, Harlow finds thirty grand in cash, life insurance documents, and several fake IDs for both herself and her mom—an on-the-run essentials kit. But Harlow also finds a photograph of her mom as a teenager with two other girls, the deed to a house in a town she’s never heard of, and a handful of newspaper clippings discussing the disappearance of a woman named Eve Kennedy, Harlow’s grandmother…relics of a part of Harlow’s life she never knew existed.
With these tantalizing clues about her mother’s secrets and the power to choose her own future for the first time, Harlow realizes she has two choices: keep fleeing her mom’s ghosts or face down the nebulous threat that’s been hanging over her for her entire life.

Why I’m Waiting: Of course I wanted to read this. I didn’t exactly love the other mystery by her, but I love this cover. I don’t know what that says about me, but whatever. I will read anything if the cover is pretty. And I love this one so much. Also this synopsis got me looking like those two side eyes. I NEED this like yesterday. What was she running from? What was she trying to keep her family from? I need to know all the answers lol (And the fact that they name dropped one of my favorite authors, Tiffany Jackson? Oh yeah this bout to slap!)
What about you? Have you heard of this? Do you like the cover? Will you be waiting on this with me? Let me know in the comments!
Ooh nice! I did just see this one recently and was intrigued! I love a good mystery and secrets! The cover is also incredible. I kind of love that she’s looking back or kind of giving a side eye despite the title too! Lol.
Here’s my CWW
Have a GREAT day!
