You Were Here Once

By Eli Archer

Some memories are lost for a reason. Others are taken.
Theo's about to find out which kind he's missing.

Seventeen-year-old Theo Reeves lives by one rule: control everything. From his color-coded notebooks to his meticulous lunch routine, order is the only thing keeping the chaos at bay. But when a cryptic note appears in his locker-describing a secret only Theo should know-his carefully constructed world begins to fracture.

As more notes follow, each more intimate and disturbing than the last, Theo finds himself drawn into an unraveling mystery that seems to reach beyond the limits of memory itself. With the help of a classmate who may know more than she's letting on, and haunted by dreams of a greenhouse that doesn't exist, Theo must uncover the truth behind the messages-and the missing boy named Julian who might be the key to it all.

But the closer he gets, the more the edges blur between the past and present, between what's real and what should never have been forgotten.

Perfect for fans of A.S. King, Adam Silvera, and We Were Liars, You Were Here Once is a psychologically rich coming-of-age mystery about loss, love, and the haunting power of memory.
