Everything That Was

Davis always said music could fix anything. But he didn’t leave a playlist for this.

Seventeen-year-old Prudence Spellmeyer is barely holding it together. Her brother, her best friend, her lifeline, is gone.

Lost in grief, she drafts a flawless escape: graduate, bolt to the city, and ditch her tragic Podunk town full of ghosts and gossip. Her only therapy? Hiding out in the back seat of the Gherkin, her brother’s 1971 pickle-green Monte Carlo. Wrapped in his old letterman’s jacket, she slips into dreams where Davis is still alive. Dreams so sharp, so real, they’re the only place she wants to be.

But the dreams are shifting.

What once felt comforting, his voice, his jokes, his quiet way of showing up, now feels twisted. Darker. And the only person who might understand is Steve Nolan: her ex-best friend, her childhood crush… and the guy who caused Davis’s death.
