This was an uncomfortable book to read. To accept that such young girls could be manipulative, obssessive and for me basically something very wrong mentally was not right.

A thirteen year old girl returns home from boarding school. Bored, bubbling with anticipation, frustration, feelings all of it but she does not have the courage to act on anything. Not until Harriet the slightly older teen appears on the scene. Egged on by her they decide to ensnare Peter Biggs, himself bored, middle aged but unaware of sinister plans on the part of the girls.

This is going to be their biggest dare, their biggest summer ever but what will be the end result, what they hope to gain from it, neither of them clearly knows. But it is wrong and in a way evil what they plan and hope to do. Their families and everyone around them are just unwitting partners.
Goodreads and Amazon review up on 6/7/2017. Review on my blog 13/8/2017

Two 13 year old girls set out to “humble” their neighbor, a middle aged man in an unhappy relationship. Reminded me of the film Heavenly Creatures. The girls feed off of each others behavior, and their mischief soon takes a dark and tragic turn. Not strictly YA, but definite YA interest.
