Not your everyday coming-of-age novel
This story was supposed to be about Evie - how she hasn't made a friend in years, how she tends to stretch the truth (especially about her so-called relationship with college drop-out Jonah Luks), and how she finally comes into her own once she learns to just be herself but it isn't. Because when her classmate Elizabeth "Zabet" McCabe's murdered body is found in the woods, everything changes and Evie's life is never the same again.
"Readers who have ever felt like they don't fit in will find it easy to empathize with the teen's struggle to connect to others, and anyone can relate to the disillusionment that comes with growing up. Grades 8+." - School Library Journal
"A good option for reluctant readers, this thrilling story shows many instances of lyrical language, and the pacing is pitch-perfect. Grades 8-12" - Booklist
"A nail-biter packed with palpable suspense and enough violence to suit it for stronger stomachs. Ages 14+" - Kirkus Reviews
