You think you know what happened that day... But what if you#39;re wrong
Everyone who was around in the 1990s remembers where they were when they heard that AJ Silver had died. In the summer of #39;96, there was no avoiding the story that America#39;s biggest teen pop sensation had plunged to his death on a rollercoaster at a family-run amusement park in rural England.
Now, 27 years have passed, and - even if you#39;re too young to recall the event - you#39;ve probably heard AJ Silver#39;s songs topping the charts again. So what better time to take a forensic look at what happened that summer
I#39;ve spent hundreds of hours interviewing everyone who was there that fateful day: workers, friends, family... the people who gained from his death, and the people who lost everything.
But you#39;re going to want to pay attention. Because I#39;ve found out a secret. One you#39;re all going to want to know... Perhaps it wasn#39;t such an accident after all
A truly unique and unforgettable story, set in 1990s Los Angeles and rural England, with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. You#39;ll be gripped! Order now!
Readers love What Happened That Summer:
#39;I loved this! Fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid will devour it, then want to start it all over again, just like I did. Laura Pearson#39;s best one yet, and that#39;s saying something!#39; Kate Storey, author of The Memory Library
#39;A masterclass in storytelling. The mystery is utterly addictive, the love story so tender and exquisitely drawn it makes your heart ache, and all set against a glorious backdrop of 90s nostalgia. I ADORED it. Laura Pearson is a must-read author for me and this is her best book yet.#39; Clare Leslie Hall, author of Broken Country
#39;I devoured What Happened That Summer. It#39;s a gripping, heartfelt read with compelling characters and a story full of emotional depth and nostalgic charm. I was genuinely sad to turn the last page!#39; Emily Freud, author of What She Left Behind
#39;Definitely my favourite book of the year BY A MILE!!! One of those I wish I could go back and read again for the first time. If I didn#39;t have to go to work, I would not have put it down. And the twist at the end!!! Didn#39;t see it coming at all. I know I have used way too many exclamation marks in this review but I can#39;t stop!! An absolute triumph of a novel in every way. 5 stars plus a cherry on top!#39; Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
#39;What can I say, other than... WOW! As a fan of Laura#39;s, this is unlike any other book she has written, and completely blew me away. I devoured every page, was completely invested in the characters and was stunned by the ending. If you read one book next year - make it this one - you won#39;t regret it!#39; Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
#39;This book was so amazing I couldn#39;t put it down!!... The kind of book that will stay with you forever; one you will read over and over again, so you could pore over every detail just one more time!#39; Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
