If you’re looking for a vacation/beach book, this is it. It’s not fine literature but it’s a fun, suspenseful read. Kate, the single, hard-working lawyer mom of Amelia, a sophomore at an elite Brooklyn high school, gets a call to come to school immediately because her daughter is in trouble. In fact, her daughter is dead. As Kate recovers from the shock of losing her daughter to what has been deemed a suicide, the suspicion that her daughter was not suicidal grows in Kate’s mind. Triggered by an anonymous text, she is spurred on to discover an intricate cover-up of sorority-like hazing/bullying in which both she and her daughter have been victims.
Again, this is not high literature. There is not exactly deep character development. There are some cheesy scenes and some dead-end story lines. But you are still taken in by the plot and through the whole story you are itching to know what happens.
Definitely pack this is in your suitcase next to your toiletry bag!
