Neverworld Wake is a beautiful book by author Marisha Pessl.
A gripping suspenseful psychological thriller in which fear is physical and memories come to life.
Once upon a time, at Darrow-Harker School, Beatrice Hartley and her five best friends were wonderful, beautiful kids. The shocking death of Jim – their creative genius and Beatrice’s boyfriend – changed everything.
A year after graduation, Beatrice returned to Wincroft – the seaside estate where they spent many nights sharing secrets and loves. Plans to change the world – in the hope that she will make sense of the dark questions gnawing at her about Jim’s death.
As night fell in a fog of nagging jokes and confusing silence, Beatrice felt she would never know what really happened.
Then a mysterious man knocks on the door. Time had come to a standstill for them, caught in a splinter that could only be removed if old friends made the harshest decisions.
