Summary

Beechwood Island, off the coast of Massachusetts. Caroline "Carrie" Sinclair tells the ghost of her son Johnny about the summers of the 1980s: her sister Rosemary drowning; her sisters Bee and Penelope flirting with boys and pretending nothing tragic had happened. Caroline had had face surgery that reshaped her bone structure; now her addiction to the pain pills is getting out of control. When their uncle Dean, some cousins and their friends show up on the private island, a web of lies, betrayals, secrets begins. - adapted from jacket (regular print edition)
