• Just A Final Step Over The Edge •

Last summer was supposed to be unforgettable.
It was-just not in the way she expected.

One impulsive choice shatters everything she thought she knew about herself. Rebelling against her family's expectations, she follows her friends into a massive party that feels like freedom in its purest form-loud, intoxicating, and endless. For one night, she's untouchable. And then the memories fracture. Whole pieces of time vanish, leaving behind only unease and the sense that something went terribly wrong.

Afterward, she disappears from the life she knew. Trouble finds her-run-ins with the police, consequences she can't fully explain, and a version of herself she doesn't recognize. When she finally resurfaces, she clings to the one plan she made long before everything fell apart: the university she applied to in her junior year. She gets in. She packs up. She moves across the country and cuts off contact with her family, determined to leave her past where it belongs.

A new place should mean a fresh start.
Instead, the past follows her.

Memories begin to resurface in fragments-sensations without context, moments that feel familiar but wrong. Faces she can't place. Feelings that don't make sense. And then there's him-the guy with messy black hair and a presence that unsettles her more than it should. She's sure they've never met, yet something about him feels hauntingly familiar, like a memory buried too deep to reach.

As her new life unravels alongside the old one she tried to escape, she's forced to confront the truth about what really happened that summer-and why some things refuse to stay forgotten.
