She's a liar. A cheater. A murderer. And it's only her first semester.

Lia Setiawan has never really fit in. And when she wins a full ride to the prestigious Draycott Academy on a track scholarship, she's determined to make it work even though she's never felt more out of place.

But on her first day there she witnesses a girl being forcefully carried away by campus security. Her new schoolmates and teachers seem unphased, but it leaves her unsure of what she's gotten herself into.

And as she uncovers the secrets of Draycott, complete with a corrupt teacher, a golden boy who isn't what he seems, and a blackmailer determined to get her thrown out, she's not sure if she can trust anyone...especially when the threats against her take a deadly turn.

Not exactly sure why, but this book didn’t really grip me. I usually enjoy young adult thrillers. This one didn’t quite draw me in like I hoped it would.

Anna and Jon were set on having a child but faced disappointment and had no results for years! But Jon had no clue that Anna was hiding her secrets! Then, a piece of paper with a black-and-white photo of a scan of a baby came through her letterbox! Who’s pregnant? Why was it sent to her? Jon is cheating and got some girl knocked up?!

Enter Grace into the scene—the new girl Jon took on to work in their print shop! Anna smells a rat with Jon and Grace! This book has all the feels. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It is one I would highly recommend reading!

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources, Blodwood Books, and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

It's definitely a great book, but it's not preferably my style. I did enjoy it though.
