“Part mystery, part meditation on loyalty and love, The Accident is as riveting as it is beautifully told.”

—Stacey Mindich, Producer, Dear Evan Hansen

“Lori Miller Kase’s debut YA thriller, THE ACCIDENT, will keep readers glued to the chair until the final pages. It’s not only impossible to put down but also a compelling portrait of a young woman struggling to make the right decision. Kase’s writing is descriptive, her teen voice rings true, and the emotional landscape she creates is filled with nuance.”

—Christine Pakkala, Author, Jasmine and Maddie

“Lori Miller Kase knows how to get inside the mind of her teenage protagonist Hannah in a way that makes you feel almost guilty for intruding on her thoughts—almost, but not quite. I felt Hannah’s desperation so intensely I found myself fully engaged and speculating wildly right alongside her. This book felt like a modern-day YA Jane Eyre!”

—Patrick D. Joyce, Author of Back in the USSR and Strawberry Fields
