Who can you trust when you can’t even trust yourself?

Blythe Warren, a 17-year-old attending a small private STEM school run by her parents’ employer, a medical technology company, is shocked when one of her friends has a breakdown in class. Normally even-keeled Gabrielle Harris starts swearing, shouting, and raving about the security cameras and how they’re always watching her, and the teacher sends her to the vice principal’s office. When Blythe goes to check on her later, she stumbles across a bloody crime scene. Strangely, the next day Blythe remembers nothing about it: She only has memories of slipping on the bathroom floor and hitting her head. But when the combination of gruesome visions, invasive thoughts, and inaccurate memories becomes impossible to ignore, Blythe is set on a course of discovery that will uncover a web of secrets and lies among her friends and family—some of which are unknown to the very people who keep them. The story will be pure catnip to readers who love twists, turns, and mysteries involving pretty White kids with problems, especially if they’re willing to occasionally overlook realism for the drama of it all. The mysteries on top of mysteries will keep the pages turning in this plot-driven thriller with reluctant-reader appeal.

Mental potato chips, happily devoured.

(Thriller. 12-17)
