Maya is enjoying a reunion back at Princeton while there for her sister's graduation. That is until she gets the worst news of her life. Her little sister, Naomi, has been found dead. The police are convinced it was a tragic accident but Maya isn't so certain, especially when she finds out Naomi was in the same secret society she was. Maya knows how bad things can get and sets out to find out if Naomi uncovered and secrets that could get her killed.
I enjoyed the multiple timelines of this book. We got to see Maya's time at Princeton as well as the past few months of Naomi's life. This blended in well with how Maya was doing in the present. The sisters seemed to have a similar experience of the eating clubs at Princeton and the deadly nature of a certain secret society. While Maya managed to turn things around, Naomi wasn't so lucky. I found myself suspecting everyone throughout this book, except the actual culprit! The plot twists were excellent and kept me surprised. I especially liked the ending as I just didnt see it coming!
