A great keep-you-on-your-toes thriller! I did not want to put this book down as I wanted to know what happened. The author, Suja Sukumar, captured the essence of high school reality with the popularity and the cliques and the damage that can be caused. However, the amount of power or influence is scary and although high school was some years ago, I am both glad and scared that I am no longer having to deal with the insanity of high school popularity but many others still do. Be careful who you befriend and the lengths you go to fit in. It is not worth it.

This book was exactly as good as I expected it to be. I couldn't stop thinking about when I wasn't reading it and before I finished has already convinced so many friends to buy a copy when it's out. I loved it.

Tanvi and Mimi are cousins but they feel like sisters; Mimi’s mother raised both girls after the death of Tanvi’s parents. Mimi has always been Tanvi’s protector, up until recently when she became aligned with Tanvi’s biggest tormentor, Beth.

Then Tanvi takes an incriminating photo of Mimi and Beth and a party and, that same night, Mimi vanishes. The next morning Tanvi wakes up with injuries and no memories of how she got them. The police are investigating Mimi’s disappearance and Tanvi decides to do the same, hoping to regain her memories and discover what happened to Mimi.

This was a bit of a mess in that the timelines for what happens with the girls don’t seem clear. Several times Tanvi talks about how she, Mimi and Grace were inseparable…but what about Krista, who seems to be Tanvi’s great and wonderful friend who would do anything for her. Did she just appear from nowhere? The book makes it appear as if she did. And were Mimi and Beth friends for about three weeks? That makes no sense to me.

Then there’s Tanvi’s investigation. She does incredibly stupid things, over and over again. She breaks into people’s property. She returns to a place WHERE SHE HAS ALREADY BEEN PHYSICALLY ATTACKED AND COUNTS ON THE SAME STUPID ROPE TO SAVE HER A SECOND TIME?!?! She is nearly killed multiple times. And she’s supposed to be the hero of this book? Nope. Just didn’t care for it.
