Opis

Who's the real victim here? This tense and gripping exploration of cyberbullying and teen suicide is perfect for fans of Before I Fall and Thirteen Reasons Why.

Late at night Tori receives a random phone call. It's a wrong number. But the caller seems to want to talk, so she stays on the line.

He asks for a single thing--one reason not to kill himself.

The request plunges her into confusion. Because if this random caller actually does what he plans, he'll be the second person connected to Tori to take his own life. And the first just might land her in jail. After her Facebook page became Exhibit A in a tragic national news story about cyberbullying, Tori can't help but suspect the caller is a fraud. But what if he's not? Her words alone may hold the power of life or death.

With the clock ticking, Tori has little time to save a stranger--and maybe redeem herself--leading to a startling conclusion that changes everything...

It's a suspenseful, riveting page-turner, and once I got going, I could not put it down!" Bill Konigsberg award-winning author of Openly Straight and Out of the Pocket
