Rachel Carter launches a mind-blowing time-travel trilogy with her YA novel So Close to You.

Lydia Bentley doesn't believe the rumors about the Montauk Project, that there's some sort of government conspiracy involving people vanishing and tortured children. But her grandfather is sure that the Project is behind his father's disappearance more than sixty years earlier.

While helping her grandfather search Camp Hero, a seemingly abandoned military base on Long Island, for information about the disappearance, Lydia is transported back to 1944--just a few days before her great-grandfather's disappearance.

Lydia begins to unravel the dark secrets of the Montauk Project and her own family history, despite warnings from Wes, a mysterious boy she is powerfully attracted to but not sure she should trust.

From the Back Cover:

Teen Choice Book Award Nominee

Lydia Bentley has heard stories about the Montauk Project all her life--stories about the experiments that took place at the abandoned military base near her home and the people who've disappeared over the years. Soon Lydia discovers that all the stories she's ever heard about the Montauk Project are true--and that she's in the middle of one of the most dangerous experiments in history.

Alongside Wes, a darkly mysterious boy she is wary to trust, Lydia begins to unravel the secrets surrounding the Project. But the truths she uncovers force her to question all her choices. And if Lydia chooses wrong, she might not save her family but destroy them . . . and herself.
