[RECOMMENDATION] For fans of stories with "it" girls, with a darker twist - Pretty Little Liars comes to mind.
[SYNOPSIS] Lucy is THAT girl. She's magnetic, everyone wants to be around her. Margot... not so much. Margot is very much the best friend of the main character. However, Lucy notices her and brings her into her inner circle of close friends. So now Margot is living off-campus wit her, and two more other *chosen* girls, all orbiting Lucy's star energy.
Margot is dealing with some past trauma, as her bestie in high school died not too long after they graduated. And in current times, a frat boy from next door has been brutally murdered and now Lucy is missing.
[REVIEW] I thoroughly enjoyed how this was an interesting thriller, but with an interwoven story of friendship and the dark sides of what you'd do to feel like you belong. It kept me guessing, and intrigued, throughout. It was a bit slow paced for me in the beginning, but picked up in pace as I read.
