Advance praise for The First Time She Drowned : " The First Time She Drowned is an exquisite and masterful dive, a brave exploration into the complexities of family, and the saving grace of friendship. Kletter's writing is hypnotic, her characters alive, her story tragic, beautiful, hopeful. Simply put, this book is stunning."--David Arnold, critically acclaimed author of Mosquitoland "The best writers are able to tell the most difficult stories with the most empathy, and that's just what Kletter does in this haunting debut about a girl lost in the depths of her family's secrets and shame. Complex, affirming, and beautifully written."--Stephanie Kuehn, author of the Morris Award-winning Charm & Strange "Utterly amazing . . . an incredible read." --Jennifer Niven, New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places "Sentence by sentence . . . one of the most lyrical novels I've ever read. Haunting and exquisite." --Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything
