Julie’s ex-boyfriend Ray Bronson has returned from California a different man, but no amount of soul searching on a boat can undo what he and the others did. Helen Rivers’ coveted job of a glorified weather girl and Barry Cox’s man-on-campus status are also eventually spoiled by menacing reminders of last summer. For Julie James, good news about college coincides with an ominous letter. There are no prefacing displays of happier times to offset the new normal for the main characters. Unlike in Jim Gillespie ’s 1997 film, Duncan’s story goes straight to the aftermath it begins almost a year after the hit-and-run, shortly before Memorial Day. And after a year of waiting and trying to forget that awful night, their past finally catches up with them. This seminal 1973 book follows four teens who fail to do the right thing one fateful summer. The f amed young-adult author proposed a dilemma like few others when she pursued an idea of dual identities and a curiosity about hit-and-runs. Before Jennifer Love Hewitt and her castmates ever felt the sharp end of an ice hook, I Know What You Did Last Summerwas a novel by Lois Duncan.
