Trusting your friends might be your only choice – but that still doesn’t mean it’s the right one. Four school friends on the DoE weekend find themselves in an impossible situation when a teacher is killed. They are Meggie who had been determined to impress queen bee and wild girl, Sophie. Grace is the girl next door type, liked by everyone, and always trying to keep the peace, even against the odds. And Amber is the mysterious new girl. The four girls end up sharing a secret that could destroy them all. How well do they know each other? How much can they trust each other and the boys in their group?
I loved this book. As an "older" reader, I did check out a few things with my teenage granddaughter who is my own authenticity reader and who was remarkably frank! The plot is compelling. Characterisation is spot on, and the narrative style is perfect for the readership.
