The New York Times Bestseller A Winner of the Alex Award, a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for First Fiction, named a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Los Angeles Times, and San Francisco Chronicle The Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon away from life as a San Francisco web-design drone and into the aisles of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore.

The customers are few, and they never seem to buy anything--instead, they 'check out' large, obscure volumes from strange corners of the store. Suspicious, Clay engineers an analysis of the clientele's behavior, seeking help from his variously talented friends. But when they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, they discover the bookstore's secrets extend far beyond its walls.

It's been months since the accident that killed Ella's best friend, Hayley, and Ella can't stop blaming herself. Now Ella is back at school, and everywhere she looks are reminders of her best friend-including Sawyer, Hayley's boyfriend. Little by little, they grow closer, until Ella realizes something horrifying . . . She's in love with her dead best friend's boyfriend.

Instead, she discovers that Sawyer has secrets of his own and that his relationship with Hayley wasn't as picture-perfect as it seemed.

Or could it be something twisted only Hayley knew about?
