The Second Version of You, (Paperback)

<p><b>She interviewed him like a stranger. She wasn't.</b></p><p>Pamela Logan is a seasoned journalist with a reputation for getting to the truth - except the one she's been avoiding for six years. When her editor assigns her a profile on Justin Sullivan, a quietly successful entrepreneur in a small upstate town, she says yes before she finishes reading the brief.</p><p>Because she knows who Justin Sullivan used to be. And he used to know her.</p><p>What follows is nine weeks of carefully constructed access - recorded sessions, site visits, a growing file of notes - and the slow, unsettling realization that the story she came to write is not the story she's uncovering. Justin built a new life on the wreckage of the old one. Pamela built her career on the certainty that she'd moved on. Neither version holds under pressure.</p><p>As the investigation goes deeper, so does the truth about the night that ended everything: a small bag packed in a hallway, a door left open, and two people who said the wrong thing because they didn't know how to say the right one. The ending they lived with for six years wasn't an ending at all - it was a misreading, engineered by someone who decided the relationship was a variable worth removing.</p><p><i>The Second Version of You</i> is a novel about the stories we tell ourselves to survive what we lose, the versions of ourselves we build on top of grief, and what it costs - and what it gives - to finally tell the truth to someone who already knows most of it.</p><p><b>For readers who believe that the most dangerous interviews are the ones where both people are the subject.</b></p>
