Graciela Cristales's whole world changes after she and a boy she barely knows are assaulted at the same party. She loses her gift for making enchanted pan dulce. Neighborhood trees vanish overnight, while mirrored glass appears, bringing reckless magic with it. And Ciela is haunted by what happened to her and what happened to the boy whose name she never learned. But when the boy, Lock, shows up at Ciela’s school, he has no memory of that night and no clue that a single piece of mirrored glass is tearing his life apart. Ciela decides to help him, which means hiding the truth about that night. Because Ciela knows who assaulted her—and him. And she knows that their survival depends on no one finding out what really happened.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Aching, vivid narrative...Piercing magic.” Kirkus REviews (starred review)
“An empowering story of two survivors healing together, exploring what consent looks like in every relationship, including with friends and family, after an assault…and finding the way back to your own magic.” Booklist (starred review)
"With haunting prose and sharp insight, McLemore expertly combines the piquant with the sweet." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Bit by bit, narrator Jennifer Jill Araya reveals what happened…The trauma, gender and racial differences, and inequity in this story are balanced by its beautiful prose and fairy-tale elements, inspired by ‘The Snow Queen.’ Araya does justice to all of these elements and blends them with gentle transitions…Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
