“An eerily beautiful and lyrical story of loss, grief, and how quickly relationships can change, while also changing us.” –Robin Benway, National Book Award winner and bestselling author of Far From The Tree and A Year to the Day “Fast-paced, unputdownable, and full of heart and complicated emotions. An unforgettable story.” –Yamile Saied Méndez, Pura Belpré Award-winning author of Furia, a Reese’s Book Club selection What would you do if everyone you love disappeared? What if it was your fault? For July Fielding, nothing has been the same since that summer before senior year. Once, she had Alex, her loyal best friend, the one who always had her back. She had Sydney, who pushed her during every cross-country run, and who sometimes seemed to know July better than she knew herself. And she had Sam. Sam, who told her she was everything and left her breathless with his touch. Now, July is alone. Every single person in her small town of Lithia has disappeared. No family. No Alex or Sydney. No Sam. July’s only chance at unraveling the mystery of their disappearance is a series of objects, each a reminder of the people she loved most. And a mysterious message: GET TH3M BACK. From the #1 bestselling author of the Matched series, The Only Girl in Town is a searingly candid reckoning with both love and loneliness that perfectly distills the messy, beautiful realities of growing up, growing apart, and the courageous act of self-discovery.
