Book is about Meredith’s grief, family rituals, and a weeklong summer wedding that reintroduces her to social life through a competitive game.
Much of the setup centers on interpersonal decisions and a budding romance that grows out of an assassin alliance. The setting on Martha’s Vineyard and the game structure create an event-driven backdrop rather than speculative or supernatural elements. This may appeal more to someone interested in contemporary young adult romance about reconnection after loss.
