Publisher Description
A riveting thriller set at a California prep school! Carly: She was sweet. Smart. Self-destructive. She knew the secrets of Brighton Day School’s most privileged students. Secrets that got her killed. Neily: Dumped by Carly for a notorious bad boy, Neily didn’t answer the phone call she made before she died. If he had, maybe he could have helped her. Now he can’t get the image of her lifeless body out of his mind. Audrey: She’s the reason Carly got tangled up with Brighton’s fast crowd in the first place, and now she regrets it—especially since she’s convinced the police have put the wrong person in jail. Audrey thinks the murderer is someone at Brighton, and she wants Neily to help her find out who it is. As reluctant allies Neily and Audrey dig into their shared past with Carly, her involvement with Brighton’s dark goings-on comes to light. But figuring out how Carly and her killer fit into the twisted drama will force Audrey and Neily to face hard truths about themselves and the girl they couldn’t save.

"I didn't think I was going to like this book. I thought it would be all drama and no story, but I was wrong. As the book went on, it got better and better. Yes, the main characters were winers most of the time, but there was a legitimate mystery to figure out. Who killed Carley? Carley was a smart nerdy girl turned bad girl. After her mother dies of cancer, she goes off the deep end and breaks up with her boyfriend, Neily and begins dating the bad boy in school, a known drug dealer. She learns things about his crowd that end up getting her killed. I don't know if I can say that the characters are likable and relatable, but they were definitely engaging. Neily and Audrey spend most of the book fighting, and all of them have really messed up home lives, which is nothing but common for these types of books, but still, I enjoyed the mistery. Would recommend it if you can put up with stupid characters."

— Nancy Werlin, New York Times bestselling author of Impossible -

" Neily is devastated by the murder of his best friend and once-girlfriend, Carly. Audrey too, lost her best friend and cousin; as well as her father, who was convicted of killing his niece. Audrey and Neily grudgingly team up to prove Audrey's father innocent and find the true perpetrator. And in this partnership, they find themselves beginning to come to terms with Carly's death, as well as the choices she made when alive. "

" The story was interesting but I don't see why we needed it in two points of view who sounded the same. If I didn't know the section of the book, I wouldn't have known if I was reading Neily or Audrey. That's the main reason this gets 2 stars rather than 3. "

" Fabelhaft. Mehr dazu im September. "

" It was really good. I don't really like books with two people telling the story, but i L-O-V-E-D it! "

" This book has been beckoning me to read it for some time. Fans of Looking for Alaska might appreciate this one. "
— Fiona, 8/28/2013 -
" I decided to read this after a good review from my pal Jessica. Well written murder mystery that kept me entertained. I liked the dual narration between the victim's ex-boyfriend and her cousin. This is a debut novel for Ms. Jarzab and I'll keep my eye out for other books from her. "
— Amber, 8/1/2013 -
" I dont know if its fair to mark this as read as I just could not get through it. I need a book to grab my attention and this book just did not do that for me.... "
— Holly, 12/22/2012 -
" It's been a long time since I've read a mystery, and this one kept me engaged. I did think it was a bit implausible that an innocent man was imprisoned with seemingly so little evidence. But once I suspended disbelief there I could get into the book. "
— Cass, 5/26/2012 -
" yep, this was a pretty awesome mystery book. things get wrapped up a bit too neatly toward the end, but overall i really enjoyed the story, and the narrators. "
— Angie, 2/27/2012 -
" Once again my interest is ruined by harsh language and teen sex. The only reason it managed the extra star was the authors ability to tell an interesting story. Too bad I refuse to finish it. "

" This was a powerful book. I was drawn in until the very end. At some parts I felt that the author made the characters much to forward. The plot was good so I could ignore the flaws. I felt for the characters. A good quick read. "
— Isabel, 6/13/2011 -
" This is, by far, one of my favorite books. The mystery and suspense of it had me hooked until the very end. I could feel the characters confusion and emotion as my own. I loved it! "
— Stacey, 5/22/2011 -
