“The mind will always try to explain what it can’t understand.”
Maya was a high school senior when her best friend, Aubrey, mysteriously dropped dead in front of the enigmatic man named Frank whom they’d been spending time with all summer.
Seven years later, Maya lives in Boston with a loving boyfriend and is kicking the secret addiction that has allowed her to cope with what happened years ago, the gaps in her memories, and the lost time that she can’t account for. But her past comes rushing back when she comes across a recent YouTube video in which a young woman suddenly keels over and dies in a diner while sitting across from none other than Frank. Plunged into the trauma that has defined her life, Maya heads to her Berkshires hometown to relive that fateful summer—the influence Frank once had on her , and the obsessive jealously that nearly destroyed her friendship with Aubrey.
At her mother’s house, she excavates fragments of her past and notices hidden messages in her deceased Guatemalan father’s book that didn’t stand out to her earlier. To save herself she must understand a story written before she was born, but time keeps running out, and soon, all roads are leading back to Frank’s cabin…
Read Alikes for The House in the Pines: The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager; The Woods by Harlan Coben; The It Girl by Ruth Ware; the Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins; Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak; Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
