Review

An atmospheric and multi-layered mystery that surprises until the haunting end. Kara Thomas, author of The Cheerleaders and That Weekend

Compelling and compulsive. Barrow expertly crafts a dark tale of sun-drenched dread that lays bare both the long-reaching impact of trauma and loss as well as the ways in which tragedy can so easily be disguised as destiny. Stephanie Kuehn, Morris Award-winning author of Charm & Strange

Beyond pristine beaches and the sparkling curtain of privilege lies a chilling mystery and a story of girlhood stolen too soon. Bad Things Happen Here will stay with you long after the final page. Kit Frick, author of Very Bad People and I Killed Zoe Spanos

* "With short chapters and a sparse, present-tense narrative, this contemporary novel fuses elements of mystery and romance as Lucas beautifully told coming-of-age story unfolds against a dark backdrop of death. Lucas grief, trauma, and mental illness are deftly explored and, juxtaposed with her strong sense of identity as a fat, Black, mixed-race, queer girl, provide a rich, empowering voice that carries this haunting story to a satisfying conclusion....Not a word wasted." Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"[A] carefully plotted, character-driven mystery." Publishers Weekly

"With effortless, atmospheric prose, Barrow buries us in a world that is as foreign as it is familiar--where Black teenage girls are ignored and vilified, where grief settles on shoulders like rain, and where bad things happen in a beautiful place. I wish I could read this book for the first time again and again. -- Ashley Woodfolk, Acclaimed author of Nothing Burns As Bright As You

Chapter 1 1
Parris, the island where it seems girls go to die.

And like always, Luca is the only one to remember Polly on her birthday.

Luca drives with the windows down, air twisting her curls around her face. Maybe that isnt true. Maybe people do go to Pollys grave, put down flowers that will sit and rot among the headstones. Perhaps they stop to clean off the photograph Pollys mom chose, the one with her hair slicked back in a ballet bun and red-painted lips hiding her braces.

Luca wouldnt know, because she never goes there. Thats not where Polly is, to her. Its just a box in the ground and a stone in a place far too somber for a girl like the one Polly was.
