Synopsis
One frigid winter morning, five people go for a swim in the pools. What happens there sends shock waves through the town - and changes their lives forever. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of We Were Liars comes a lyrical, intensely romantic story of love, loss and identity. Dark, moving and full of twists, The Pools is a powerful coming-of-age novel for fans of Sarah Crossan and Elizabeth Acevedo.
'Unlike anything you've ever read . . . a stunning poetic achievement' Kathleen Glasgow, author of Girl in Pieces. 'A lyrical, genre-bending exploration of devotion and grief, using a mix of poetry and prose to propel a fairytale-inspired romance'. School Library Journal. 'E. Lockhart writes with a courage that intimidates and inspires me' Jason Reynolds, author of Long Way Down.
