A sharp psychological thriller that's just right for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why and Pretty Little Liars--this story will seduce, mislead, and finally, betray you.
Dana Mele is a Pushcart-nominated writer and a work at home mother. A graduate of Wellesley College, she is a former actor, lawyer, musician, and briefly, associate producer. She prefers tea to coffee, snow to sand, and stars to sunshine, and she lives in the Catskills with her husband and toddler. This is her first novel.
“This juicy prep-school thriller has queen bees, super-cliques, and
hints of PLL and Gossip Girl. But if you think you’ve got every
plot turn figured out, think again: the drama is just getting
started.”—Seventeen Magazine
“[A] whirlwind, fast-paced YA mystery. . . Not only will Mele’s
gorgeous, melodic writing have you entranced, but the layered
mystery of it all will have you scrambling to turn the pages to see
who-dun-it.”—Buzzfeed
"Steeped in scandal and profound tragedy, this is a dark and
thrilling look at female friendships, the pressures of scholastic
success, and mental health . . . A classic and frightening
tale of betrayal and mental illness told in a fresh and
contemporary way, this book is difficult to set down for even a
moment. It is an intricately designed, beautifully written, and
extraordinarily chilling story."—School Library Journal
"Mele creates a cast of sharp-edged, prickly students; the fluid
sexuality of various characters is handled well, and themes of
betrayal and bullying are front and center. An eerie, unsettling
thriller with deadly consequences."—Publishers Weekly
"Mele . . . weave[s] a tale of mystery, intrigue, and revenge
in the style of Jay Asher’s Thirteen Reasons Why (2007), but with
its own twists to keep readers on the their toes."—Booklist
"The characters and their relationships are nuanced, especially
sexually fluid Kay, who has intimate encounters with males and
females. This blend of predictable prep school elements with
unpredictable suspense makes this a fizzy read for fans of the
genre."—Kirkus Reviews
"This is a fun, dark whodunit with loads of twists and turns to
keep readers guessing."—VOYA
"A . . . sophisticated read that is fast-paced and surprising
to the last page."—School Library Connection
