What this book is about
Abigail Haas's YA psychological thriller follows Anna, who is arrested for the murder of her best friend Elise while on spring break in Aruba. The novel's structure is sophisticated and its ending is genuinely shocking. Haas writes with the unreliability fully committed; some adult content for the older YA register. One of the best YA psychological thrillers published.
