After her family moves to Connecticut, high school senior and aspiring artist Rose falls for wealthy, handsome Hart, whose family's mysterious, sprawling garden hides a sinister secret.

From the publisher:
"An obsessive love story that's as lush and twisty as a hedge maze -- and as iridescent as a pond sparkling in the moonlight." -- E. Lockhart, author of We Were Liars and Genuine Fraud Here is a contemporary YA gothic romance about a dark family secret, a lush, mysterious garden, and a love that never dies, from New York Times bestselling author Goldy Moldavsky. Aspiring artist Rose Pauly is not happy moving from her home in New York City right before her senior year of high school. But on her first miserable day in Connecticut, she meets Hart Hargrove. The two share an immediate, undeniable connection. Hart introduces Rose to his slice of paradise-the immense private garden nestled behind the Hargrove family mansion. There, the two spend a fever dream of a summer together. But as their bond blossoms into love, Rose can't shake the feeling that all is not as it seems. When Rose uncovers the truth about the garden, she's forced to question how genuine her love story truly is. But Hart can't bear to lose Rose, and he will stop at nothing to save their relationship. Posing haunting questions about beauty and desire, this is an atmospheric and darkly romantic tale that will enthrall readers.
