There are no more cheerleaders in Sunnybrook. First, there was the car accident, then the murders, and finally the suicide. When Monica finds Jenn's phone and some mysterious letters, she begins to question if the story everyone has been telling is the truth. 

I thought this was a well-written high school thriller. There is a lot of potential triggers, so please be aware of that before you read this book. I definitely did not see some of the twists and turns that happened.

5.0

I am a sucker for school drama especially when it deals with cheerleaders or popular kids and this was everything I wanted. Five years ago five cheerleaders die in three different scenarios and five years later the younger sister of one of the cheerleaders looks into what happened and if they were all connected. I love how you didn't know who killed these girls until the end, although the one I knew was the truth and that's really sad. Great thrill ride and love the character of Ginny.
