more! A pulse-pounding and razor-sharp debut with the emotional punch of Luckiest Girl Alive
and All the Missing Girls that explores the hungry angry dark side of girlhood and dares to
ask: Which is more dangerous for a woman-showing the world what it wants to see or who she
really is? What did you do? Mary used to be such a nice girl. She was the resident whiz kid of
Liberty Lake Minnesota-the quiet chubby teen with the scholarship to an Ivy League school.
But three years later Ivy League Mary is back-a thinner cynical restless failure who was
kicked out of Cornell at the beginning of her senior year and won't tell anyone why. Taking a
job at the local grocery store Mary tries to make sense of her life's sharp downward spiral.
Then beautiful magnetic Olivia Willand goes missing. A rising social media star Olivia is
admired by everyone in Liberty Lake-except Mary. Once Olivia's best friend Mary knows better
than anyone that behind the Instagram persona hides a willful manipulative girl with sharp
edges. As the town obsesses over perfect lovely Olivia Mary wonders if her disappearance
might be tied to another missing person: nineteen-year-old DeMaria Jackson whose case has been
widely dismissed as a runaway. Who is the real Olivia Willand and where did she go? What
happened to DeMaria? As Mary pries at the cracks in the careful facades surrounding the two
missing girls old wounds will bleed fresh and force her to confront a horrible truth. Maybe
there are no nice girls after all. Complex characters questionable choices and conflicted
feelings about who we are and the people we leave behind combine in a compelling thriller that
will have you flipping pages to discover how it all fits together.- Darby Kane #1
