From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the We Were Liars series comes a love story full of simmering darkness and astonishing twists, following two teenagers whose lives are shattered by a shocking transformation.

Once, in a small New England town known for its hot springs, something terrible happened. Something that should have been a warning to stay away from the pools, if the stories were to be believed.

But no one is afraid of the water anymore, even if they should be.

When new girl Lexie meets golden boy Chester, their chemistry is undeniable. She’s running from a glittering life she won’t speak about. He’s hiding secrets of his own. Their connection feels bigger than both of them, despite their damage.

One frigid winter morning in that small New England town, five people go for a swim in the pools. Five people, including Chester. What happens there sends shock waves through the town, changing life as Lexie knows it forever.

Kritikerstimmen

“Lexie and Chester's love story is unlike any you've ever read: a contemporary fairy tale of depression, anxiety, loss, and the first love that consumes you. A stunning poetic achievement.” —Kathleen Glasgow, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces

“E. Lockhart writes with a courage that intimidates and inspires me. With The Pools, she’s done it again!” —Jason Reynolds, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Long Way Down

★ "The cinematic, poetic writing features scenes of heartbreak, horror, and devotion, culminating in a gorgeous Technicolor finale. Come for the romance; stay for the artistry." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ "Lockhart narrates in an inspired combination of free verse, found poems, and more formal poetic structures. The effect is mesmerizing and dramatic, allowing this tender and unusual love story to unfold like a medieval ballad meant to be read aloud or told and retold." —The Horn Book, starred review

"A lyrical, genre-blending exploration of devotion and grief, using a mix of ­poetry and prose to propel a fairy-­tale–­inspired romance....An ethereal weave of folklore and modern yearning." —School Library Journal

"Striking....a brisk and cleverly conceived novel that successfully straddles realism and fantasy." —Publishers Weekly

"Lockhart explores loneliness, first love, and mental health with poetic tenderness....Sure to float well with fans of verse and slightly askew fantasy." —Booklist
