Summary

This is going to be the worst summer ever for Peyton. Her family just moved, and she had to leave her best friend behind. She's lonely and bored until she comes across a box buried in her backyard, with a message: "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me." Back in 1989, Melissa and Jessica have two whole months to goof around and explore, and they're even going to bury a time capsule! But when one girl's family secret starts to unravel, it's clear things may not go exactly as planned. In alternating chapters, from Peyton in present day to Melissa three decades earlier (a time with no cell phones, no social media, and camera film that took days to develop, but also a whole lot of freedom), Eulberg tells the story of a mystery that two sets of memorable characters will never forget
