In Pintip Dunnโs gripping and timely novel, a young woman whose life unravels in the wake of her motherโs alleged suicide sets out to clear her name.
โThe mother I knew would never do those things. But maybe I never knew her after all.โ
Clothes, jokes, coded messagesโฆCecilia Brooks and her mom shared everything. At least, CeCe thought they did. Six months ago, her mom killed herself after accusations of having sex with a student, and CeCeโs been the subject of whispers and taunts ever since. Now, at the start of her high school senior year, between dealing with her grieving, distracted father, and the social nightmare that has become her life, CeCe just wants to fly under the radar. Instead, sheโs volunteering at the schoolโs crisis hotlineโthe same place her mother worked.
As she counsels troubled strangers, CeCeโs lingering suspicions about her momโs death resurface. With the help of Sam, a new student and newspaper intern, she starts to piece together fragmented clues that point to a twisted secret at the heart of her community. Soon, finding the truth isnโt just a matter of restoring her motherโs reputation, itโs about saving livesโincluding CeCeโs ownโฆ
