From the publisher

Rachel Carter's breathtaking time-travel romance, This Strange and Familiar Place, is a great pick for fans of Kerstin Gier's Ruby Red trilogy.



In the second book of the So Close to You YA trilogy, Lydia Bentley has discovered that the conspiracy theories about the Montauk Project, the ones her grandfather had told her about all her life, were true all along.



The little town on Long Island really is the Area 51 of the east. Lydia's hometown has been the site of government time-travel experiments since World War II. Among the "recruits" the Project has used as subjects in these experiments are two members of Lydia's own family, and Wes, the boy she loves.



What is Lydia willing to sacrifice to save them?


  • YA Time Travel Romance: Lydia's mission to save the people she cares about throws her back in time--and directly into the path of Wes, the one boy she can't forget.
  • Conspiracy Thriller: The Montauk Project is real, its secrets are deadly, and Lydia is caught in a web of lies that stretches across decades.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: He's a recruit for the very organization she must fight. Trusting him could be a fatal mistake... or her only hope.
  • Secrets and Lies: To save her family, Lydia must uncover the truth about her grandfather's disappearance, no matter the cost.

From the rear cover

These are the things of which Lydia is now certain:

The Montauk Project has been experimenting with time travel for years.

The Project's subjects are "recruits" from across time, recruits like Wes, Lydia's ally, friend, and love.

The Project is now responsible for the disappearance of two members of her family. . . .

And they're coming for Lydia next.

This thrilling sequel to So Close to You explores how far we'll go to save the people we love--and what happens after you change the future.
