"Sexy and surprising, with sinister twists and turns lurking beneath the surface."--Kara Thomas, award-winning author of The Cheerleaders "Forbidden romance, dark family secrets, twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end--get ready to fall madly and deeply for your next favorite YA romantic thriller."--Kim Liggett, author of The Grace Year "Sophisticated and smart, Happily and Madly is everything you want in a summer read: a lavish beach setting, a troubled family, forbidden love, and a slow-burning mystery that sinks in its hooks and doesn't let go until the last page. I'm still thinking about it." --Virginia Boecker, author of An Assassin's Guide to Love & Treason "This lush and slow-burning mystery by Bass ( Love and Other Theories , 2014; What's Broken Between Us , 2015) is intoxicating and exhilarating and will enthrall young readers and mystery fans alike. Readers will be hard-pressed to unravel the mystery before the last page."-- Booklist "This masterfully paced crime thriller grabs readers from the get-go and does not let up, pulling them along with Maris down a twisting path through blind alleys, past red herrings, and into an enticingly complex web of deceit, money, and power. The emotional backdrop of her difficulties with her father and her rebellion against him gives her character depth and also provides the setup for an even more chilling twist.
