English Summary/英文概要： “If guilt could kill, I’d already be dead, like I’m supposed to be …”
New Years’ Eve, San Francisco. The most promising party of the year ends in a tragic
accident. Cara survives. Her best friend, Georgina, doesn’t.
Nine months later, Cara is struggling, consumed by guilt and grief. Her mum decides that packing her off to a Swiss boarding school will be the fresh start Cara needs. But Cara knows that swapping sunshine for snow won’t make a blind bit of difference.Georgina is gone, and nothing will bring her back.
On the plus side, up in the vertiginous Alps, Cara’s old life feels a million miles away. At
Hope Hall, nobody knows about her past. And she intends to keep it that way. But her
classmates, Ren and Hector, have other ideas. Cara tries to keep her distance, but she’s
drawn to the offbeat, straight-talking Hector, who understands her grief better than
anyone. Her new friends are determined to break down the walls she has so carefully
built up. And, despite it all, Cara wants them to.
The closer Cara grows to Hector, the more Georgina slips away. Embracing life at
Hope Hall means letting go of the past; of her memories of that fatal New Year’s Eve.
But Cara’s quite sure she doesn’t deserve a second chance.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “如果内疚能杀人，我早就死了，就像我应该死的那样……”
新年前夜，旧金山。今年最有希望的派对以一场悲剧事故告终。卡拉幸存。她最好的朋友乔治娜却没能逃过厄运。
九个月后，卡拉挣扎着，被内疚和悲伤吞噬。她妈妈决定把她送到瑞士的寄宿学校，这将是卡拉需要的一个新的开始。但卡拉知道，用阳光换雪不会有什么明显的不同。乔治娜走了，没有什么能把她带回来。
好的一面是，在令人眩晕的阿尔卑斯山上，卡拉的旧生活让人感觉像在万里之外。在霍普霍尔，没有人知道她的过去。她打算保持这种状态。但她的同学任和赫克托尔却有不同的想法。卡拉试图保持距离，但她被另类、直率的赫克托尔所吸引，他比任何人都更能理解她的悲伤。她的新朋友们决心打破她精心建造的心理防线。尽管如此，卡拉还是想让他们这么做。卡拉感觉离赫克托尔越近，乔治娜就越容易溜走。在希望之堂拥抱生活意味着放下过去；她对那个致命的新年前夜的记忆。但是卡拉很确定她不会得到第二次机会。（WYL）
