"Emery Blackwood's life was forever changed on the eve of her high school graduation, when the love of her life, August Salt, was accused of murdering her best friend, Lily. Now, she is doing what her teenage self swore she never would: living a quiet existence among the community that fractured her world in two. She'd once longed to run away with August, eager to escape the misty, remote shores of Saiorse Island and chase new dreams; now, she maintains her late mother's tea shop and cares for her ailing father. But just as the island, rooted in folklore and tradition, begins to show signs of strange happenings, August returns for the first time in fourteen years and unearths the past that no one wants to remember. August Salt knows he is not welcome on Saiorse, not after the night that changed everything. As a fire raged on at the Salt family orchard, Lily Morgan was found dead in the dark woods, shaking the bedrock of their tight-knit community and branding August a murderer. When he returns to bury his mother's ashes, he must confront the people who turned their backs on him and face the one wound from the past that has never healed-Emery. But the town has more than one reason to want August gone, and the emergence of deep betrayals and hidden promises that span generations threatens to reveal the truth behind Lily's death once and for all"-- Provided by publisher.

Twin Peaks Vibes submitted by pjaynes on July 3, 2023, 2:48pm There are magical elements in the book, but they don't really come up until the end. The story is deeply grounded in the realistic small-town on a small Pacific Northwest island. This book is a lot like others where the main character goes back to their hometown to confront their past and solve an old murder. Only, the main character is one of the people left behind in the small town and the return of her ex-boyfriend sends the town into disarray. It's a worthwhile read, especially if you're looking for something with Twin Peaks vibes.
