“This dark and twisty #MeToo thriller” from a critically acclaimed author “delivers an empowering tale populated with nuanced characters” (Publishers Weekly).
The troublemaker. The overachiever. The cheer captain. The dead girl. Like every high school in America, Jefferson-Lorne High contains all of the above.
After the shocking murder of senior Emma Baines, three of her classmates are at the top of the suspect list: Claude, the notorious partier; Avery, the head cheerleader; and Gwen, the would-be valedictorian.
But appearances are never what they seem. And the truth behind what really happened to Emma may just be lying in plain sight. As long buried secrets come to light, the clock is ticking to find Emma's killer—before another good girl goes down.
“This clever thriller lures you in, then hits you where it hurts—with shocking power.” —Dylan Farrow, #MeToo activist and author of Hush
“The young women’s rage and regret are palpable. Revenge served cold.” —Kirkus Reviews
“An interrogation of the ways in which society labels girls to make it easier to overlook, brush off, or directly deny evidence of sexual abuse and trauma.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Fans of Courtney Summers' Sadie will appreciate this socially conscious, character-driven thriller.” —Booklist
“A gripping, page-turning mystery about small town secrets and the reasons girls keep them.” —Stephanie Kuehn, Morris Award–winning author of Charm & Strange
“Beautiful and powerful . . . this [novel] will keep you in its grip long after the last page.” —Sarah Lyu, author of The Best Lies
