There’s something about Jessica Goodman’s storytelling that keeps me reading as much as possible in one sitting. This book was no exception!
Another gripping, dark academia murder mystery that will capture your attention right away and not let loose until the conclusion!
This story centers around Amy, a senior star soccer player attending the prestigious Meadowbrook Academy a prep school set in a small Connecticut town. The morning after a rager where Amy and her best friend, Sarah, are seen fighting, she wakes up to find the dead bodies of Sarah & her boyfriend in their shared dorm suite.
We also get the POV from Liz, a rising journalist trying to uncover facts about the incident while also finding her big break with a story to tell along the way.
The writing paired with all the secrets and underlying information slowly revealed made this book SO easy to binge. If you’re looking for a darker toned quick + entertaining read, you should definitely give this book a try!
