Synopsis

A twisty, nostalgic, emotionally thrilling novel about a group of estranged college friends who experiment with a secret substance that allows them to re-live their memories—and the fallout when they uncover startling truths about a dark event from their past

“A strange, riveting, brilliant fable. Like a fever-dream of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History.” —LEV GROSSMAN

“How could you leave the past undisturbed when it was hiding parts of you from yourself?”

It’s been twenty-five years since The Midnight Club last convened. A tight-knit group of college friends bonded by late nights at the campus literary magazine, they’re also bonded by something darker: the death of their brilliant friend Jennet junior year. But now, decades later, a mysterious invitation has pulled them back to the pine-shrouded Vermont town where it all began.

As the estranged friends gather for a weeklong campus reunion, they soon learn that their host has an ulterior motive: she wants them to uncover the truth about the night Jennet died, and she’s provided them with an extraordinary method—a secret substance that helps them not only remember but relive the past.

But each one of the friends has something to hide. And the more they question each other, the deeper they dive into their own memories, the more they understand that nothing they thought they knew about their college years, and that fateful night, is true.

The Midnight Club explores that innate desire to revisit our first loves, our biggest mistakes, and the gulf between who we are and who we hoped we’d be.

I devoured THE MIDNIGHT CLUB. It's a smart, surprising, and gripping mystery about the reality that we can't change who we were back in college, but we'd all be a lot better off if we could. And, for the characters in this fine novel, one of them might even still be alive.......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on September 06, 2024

This book wormed (sogged?) its way into my dreams. No, really! Over the course of the days I read it, I kept dreaming that I was asleep but I was also standing next to my sleeping body, watching it. Partly fantastical, partly mysterious, wholly suspenseful, I had a blast with this novel. Naturally,......more

Goodreads review by kingboycar on March 13, 2024

[received arc from netgalley and harlequin trade publishing, thank you!] ideally an emotional, claustrophobic thriller about past lives and hope for second chances, this book struggles to nail the elements that it needs to succeed where it wants to. for a character-based narrative, the characters th......more

Goodreads review by Jamele (BookswithJams) on October 10, 2024

Thank you to Graydon House for the digital copy to review. I went into this one blind and therefore was not expecting the sci fi element, but I thought it worked well. It is a fascinating premise that was executed well, and sometimes I can easily get lost in and/or confused in time travel books but......more
