I knew she was trouble from the moment I saw her. I felt it as she stood in the doorway that day: disaster. Not just because she was so different, that skin and that hair, as different from me as itβs possible to be. There was something wrong about her. Wrong for us. It was never going to work.
Now she is dead and only I am left to love him. She is dead, and itβs all my fault.
A white teenage girl clashes with her new black stepmother in this debut reading group thrillerβa suburban tragedy for our times.
Lola doesnβt particularly want a new stepmother. Especially not one who has come out of nowhere and only been with her dad for three months. Andβsheβs not racist or anythingβbut since when did her dad fancy black women anyway?
Darling didnβt particularly want a new stepdaughter. Especially not one as spiteful and spoiled as Lola. She does want Lolaβs dad though. And he wants her, so thatβs that: Darling and Lola will just have to get used to each other.
