When Polly is involved in a humiliating accident, Tara and her mates to their best to make her look as silly as possible. Cass decides that it's time Tara was taught a lesson and so begins a series of events that will change the lives of these ordinary schoolgirls forever. Returning to London without Tara, the four girls carry a terrible secret they have sworn to keep. But the burden of such secrecy is a lot to bear, and events soon begin to spiral out of control, especially when Alice gets involved with Jack, Tara's gorgeous, grief-stricken brother...
A powerful thriller that uncovers a terrible darkness behind the facade of schoolgirl innocence, Cat Clarke is a uniquely compelling new voice in YA fiction.
