Having topped The New York Times bestseller list with her 2016 debut, This Is Where It Ends, Dutch author Marieke Nijkamp is back with another young adult fiction novel, Before I Let Go.

The book follows teenagers and “best friends” Corey and Kyra in a remote Alaskan town called Lost Creek. Corey has to leave Lost Creek so her mother can take a nursing job in Canada while Corey attends college. So the girls make plans to visit each other during Corey’s term break.
