What this book is about

Shay Miller is the last person to see Amanda Evinger alive on a Manhattan platform. Amanda's friends, the polished Cassandra and Jane Moore, draw Shay into their circle with unnerving speed. The novel alternates Shay's data-obsessed narration with a collective voice belonging to the women who have already decided what she is for.
