Summary
A year after JJ’s brutal death Kiara Carrera is drowning-just not in the ocean she once loved. Grief has hollowed her out, leaving only a girl who numbs the pain with vodka, pills, and whatever else she can get her hands on. The Pogues have tried to reach her, but she’s already too far gone, too bitter at the way life keeps moving forward when JJ is frozen in time.
At a party she barely remembers walking into, she runs into Rafe Cameron, the last person she expects, the last person she wants to see. Once her enemy, now just another ghost walking through life, Rafe sees the same self-destruction in her that once lived in him. He’s been where she is, and whether he means to or not, he finds himself standing in the wreckage with her.
He wasn't supposed to make it out of his old life alive. She isn't sure she will make it out of her new life alive. But as they keep crossing paths in the late hours, tangled in her vices and their grief, and something shifts. Destruction is easier when you have company. And maybe, just maybe, they can drag each other out before it’s too late.
In a world where the tide always pulls them back under, can they find a way to rise above it together? Or will they sink for good?
