For years, childhood friends Samantha, Kendra, Isabel, and Mina have spent their summers together on exotic vacations. This year, however, the group is missing Mina, who died earlier in the year. Mina left behind her journal for her friends to remember her by, but it offers little comfort for the women, who are each struggling with personal and family demons. Featuring drama, family secrets, and friendship, Cloyed's multilayered debut will appeal to those who don't mind their beach reading on the weighty side.
