This gripping, page-turning YA thriller is a momentous debut from Alex Travis, promising a fast-paced plot and compelling characters.
After the basketball star and most popular guy in school is found bloodied and unconscious in the locker room, his three jilted exes become suspects...and the investigation turns from assault to murder.
***
His first mistake was underestimating them.
Senior year is going to be perfect. Meghan won’t settle for anything less. She’s already crushing her classes and dating the star of the basketball team. Nate’s friends have been less than welcoming, but it’s never easy being one of the only Black kids at a mostly white prep school. Still, Meghan did not expect the scene at pep rally.
Robin and Bria dated Nate too. Correction: are dating him. He never broke up with them, and Meghan is furious.
When Nate is found bloodied and unconscious in the locker room after the big game, suddenly the three teens are prime suspects – and a tenuous alliance may be the only way to clear their names. Except Meghan doesn’t remember everything that happened that night, and she's starting to have feelings for one of the exes. One thing is for sure: the more clues they uncover, the more Meghan, Bria, and Robin each look responsible…
Why get over your cheating ex when you can get even? John Tucker Must Die meets One of Us Is Lying in a gripping, page-turning debut thriller.
