Description
Gr 9 Up—The hallowed halls of Oyster Bay Preparatory School are rocked with scandal and
tragedy after senior soccer star Chace Porter, son of a U.S. Congressman, is found dead in the
woods. A full-scale murder investigation begins, and police narrow their suspects to Chace's
closest friends. At the top of the list are his beautiful, popular girlfriend, Lana Rivera, and the girl
whose picture was found in the victim's pocket: Nicole Morgan, a brilliant nobody. No one seems
to know why Lana and Nicole, former roommates and friends, stopped talking months before
Chace was found, or the reasons why Chace was always sneaking off somewhere. Monir
constructs multiple backstories that piece together remnants of events that Lana and Nicole are
struggling to remember but would rather forget. And she coaxes individualistic characters out of
common tropes: Lana, the 'girl everyone wants to be,' has a frank internal monologue that
prevents her from coming across as a typical mean girl. Nicole wears her low self-esteem like a
cloak, much like an eccentric savant would in a 'Gossip Girl' high school setting, but her interior
discourse is searching and endearing. The strongest pull for readers, though, will be solving the
mystery, and although the actions of the police and the culprit occasionally feel unrealistic, Monir
effectively keeps readers guessing until nearly the end. VERDICT Teens will enjoy the cleverly
crafted ride of this whodunit. Purchase for libraries looking to bolster their YA mystery
collections.—Michael Marie Jacobs, Darlington School, GA Read more Alexandra Monir is the
