Description

An instant New York Times bestseller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Megan Lally, What We Did to Survive is a propulsive YA thriller that turns a spring break escape into a fight for survival.

Hannah is spending an incredible week at a resort in Mexico with her best friend Emmy and Emmy’s family. It is the perfect chance to de-stress from senior year, even if being around Emmy’s older brother Jackson, her longtime crush, makes things a little awkward.

The beach is beautiful, and so is the guy Emmy meets in the surf. Before long, Hannah finds herself becoming the third wheel in Emmy’s vacation romance.

Eager to impress Emmy, her wealthy new boyfriend charters a private sailboat for their final day in paradise, with Hannah and Jackson invited along. But as clouds gather and the skies darken, their boat is the only one leaving the marina.

The farther they travel into open water, the more unsettled Hannah becomes. A storm is building around them, but the danger onboard may be just as deadly. Graduation suddenly feels very far away as the four teens face one terrifying question: who will make it back to land alive?
