Grimrose Girls is set at an exclusive boarding school in Switzerland that is shocked by the death of a student at the start of the school year. Her friends are convinced that she would never commit suicide and begin to search for answers. The answers are quite unexpected as they find a hidden book of fairy tales that has eerie connections to their own lives,
The cast of characters is very diverse and each explores personal growth and self acceptance. The author drops hints about which fairy tale the girl is connected to, which is fun to try and figure out.
