THESE BODIES BETWEEN US - SARAH VAN NAME KARTON...

This wistful coming-of-age story with a speculative twist follows four friends who spend their
summer learning to become invisible—but disappearing comes at a cost. Four girls. Four girls
skating home  both sides of the road  fearless. Four girls at the mouth of an infinite ocean 
sugared and salted with sand and seawater  the tide licking their sunburned feet. This summer 
they’re going to disappear. For seventeen-year-old Callie and her best friend Talia  every
summer in their small North Carolina beach town is as familiar and steady as the tides. Their
long-distance friend Cleo arrives from DC  and they spend their days lazing on the sand and
their nights working at the local roller-skating rink. But this summer  Cleo has brought along
Polly  an enigmatic girl who shakes up the dynamics of the group. And Cleo has a proposition 
gleaned from private YouTube video tutorials and hidden message boards: They’re going to learn
how to make themselves invisible. Callie thinks it’s a ridiculous  impossible idea. But the
other girls can’t help but be intoxicated by the thought of disappearing  even just
temporarily—from bad boyfriends  from overbearing families  from the confusing  uncomfortable
reality of having a body altogether. When Callie gives in and they finally try it  miraculously
it works. Yet as the summer progresses and the girls revel in their reckless new freedom  they
realize it’s getting harder and harder to come back to themselves. And  for some of them  do
they even want to?
