Synopsis:
Everyone in Fairview knows the story.
Pretty and popular high school senior Andie Bell was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, who then killed himself. It was all anyone could talk about. And five years later, Pip sees how the tragedy still haunts her town.
But she can’t shake the feeling that there was more to what happened that day. She knew Sal when she was a child, and he was always so kind to her. How could he possibly have been a killer?
Now a senior herself, Pip decides to reexamine the closed case for her final project, at first just to cast doubt on the original investigation. But soon she discovers a trail of dark secrets that might actually prove Sal innocent . . . and the line between past and present begins to blur. Someone in Fairview doesn’t want Pip digging around for answers, and now her own life might be in danger.
Review:
This book had so many twists and turns. I wasn’t sure how to feel about Pip becoming close to Sal’s family, but I was glad for how invaluable that relationship became throughout the book. I definitely didn’t expect 99% of the stuff that came out about Andie and her life, and the few things I managed this puzzle out hadn’t been enough to reveal the entire mystery to me. I thought it was quite well done, and I really enjoyed reading it. Shout out to the family member who suggested I read this one!
This book greatly reminded me in style of Sara Shepherd’s Pretty Little Liars series and The Lying Game series.
