"Three years ago, Elle ... disappeared from Calendula, an affluent Chinese American suburb in California. Soon afterward, Liberty and Vera ... moved away, leaving O alone with her grief and confusion...until Liberty and Vera come back for their senior year of high school. Though the L.O.V.E. Club's three remaining members once bonded as outcasts and gamers, they can't pick up the pieces of their friendship. But the girls are drawn back to their old clubhouse, where they discover, loaded for them to play, a new game created by none other than the missing Elle. One click, and Liberty, Vera, and O are ported into Morning Glory, an ever-evolving botanical fantasy coded with their lived experiences and complicated history. Unbeknownst to the others, O can't remember the events surrounding Elle's disappearance - but within the game, Elle has sent O a cryptic hint about Morning Glory's real nature. While Liberty and Vera defeat increasingly sinister bosses, O grapples with the secret knowledge that she may reunite with Elle. But as the girls progress through Morning Glory, O begins to wonder how well she actually knew her former best friends and if she's ready to confront the dangerous revelations in her returning memories"-- Dust jacket flap.
