More about the book

From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Oliver comes an epic novel that delves into individuality, identity, and humanity. Lyra’s journey begins at the Haven Institute, a seemingly serene facility on a private island off Florida. However, its locked doors and military presence reveal a darker truth: Haven is a secret research center where human replicas are created and monitored. When an unexpected attack occurs, Lyra, known as 24, and another experimental subject, 72, manage to escape. Meanwhile, Gemma, a lonely teenager frequently hospitalized, leads a life limited to home, school, and her best friend, April. After a near-abduction by a stranger who claims to know her, Gemma investigates her family's past, uncovering her father's mysterious ties to Haven. Driven by the need for answers, she travels to Florida, where she encounters Lyra and 72, leading to a series of revelations that intertwine their fates. The novel uniquely presents both Lyra and Gemma's stories, allowing readers to explore each perspective by flipping the book. These two narratives, while distinct, reveal breathtaking insights that are crucial to understanding each character's journey, creating an unforgettable experience for both the heroines and the reader.
