The story is about Lucy Chase, the main suspect in a murder case, who is alleged to have murdered her best friend, Savannah. Lucy was found half unconscious on the road in the morning, covered in mud and blood, initially mistaken for a victim by the cops. However, it later turned out she was the prime suspect in Savannah's murder. During the investigation, Lucy claimed to have no memory of the previous night.

A few years later, Lucy, having lost her job, is persuaded by her mother to return to her parents' house in Plumpton. However, she is met with suspicion by everyone in town who knows her as a murderer. Despite her reluctance, Lucy agrees to be interviewed by a podcaster named Ben, hoping to uncover the truth about her friend's death, even if it means discovering she herself is the killer.

Throughout the story, Lucy encounters various people from her past and undergoes interviews with Ben and others connected to her and Savannah. Despite her efforts, Lucy remains a suspect for Ben. As she starts to remember fragments of the night of the murder, she begins to question her own innocence, despite lacking any clear motive or memory of committing the crime.
At some point, when she was done with the questions and tired of working with Ben, she was almost ready to leave her hometown. Then, at that very moment, she started recalling a few more memories.

As the story progresses, the main question remains: Is Lucy Chase is the murderer, or will she uncover the true murderer? To find out, you'll have to read the book.

I highly recommend it to fans of the mysterious thriller genre, but be aware that the book contains trigger warnings(sexual assault). I thoroughly enjoyed Amy's writing style; each chapter provides new information, keeping the reader eagerly anticipating what will happen next.
