Seventeen-year-old Emery Collins has spent her entire life dreaming of one thing: leaving her small hometown behind and becoming a writer.
When she's accepted into NYU's prestigious creative writing program, it feels like the first page of the life she's always imagined. New York City is everything she's hoped for-electric, chaotic, beautiful, and full of stories waiting to be told. Between late-night writing sessions, new friendships, and falling for someone she never expected, Emery begins to believe she's finally found where she belongs.
But everything changes when she discovers an unfinished manuscript hidden inside an old desk in the university library.
The anonymous novel tells the story of a young woman at NYU.
A young woman whose life mirrors Emery's in impossible detail.
At first, the similarities seem like coincidence. Then the manuscript begins describing events before they happen. The more pages Emery uncovers, the more terrifying the story becomes-because the final chapters end with someone disappearing without a trace.
And according to the manuscript...
She's next.
Now, with the city holding more secrets than answers, Emery must discover who wrote the manuscript, what happened to its missing author, and whether the ending has already been written-or if she can rewrite her own before it's too late.
Some stories are meant to be read.
Others are meant to be survived.
