Students at Lycroft Phelps are marked for success, with Charlotte being a straight-A student and girlfriend of the school's star rower. However, scholarship student Max is struggling, until he is asked to join the rowing team, offering him popularity, but at what cost? Meanwhile, Quinn, a sixth-generation legacy student, should be able to lay claim to the school in a way others can't. However, she must watch the boy who assaulted her continue to play at the top of the school's food chain. Only in the dead of night does Quinn realize the solution to her suffering: Colin Pearce must die.
But Lycroft Phelps has more than one dark secret at its heart, and as the three students uncover just how far the school will go to keep those ugly truths hidden, there's a lot more than reputation at stake. The book is a tense and timely thriller with a revenge plot that will have readers on the edge of their seats. It is perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow, Chelsea Pitcher, and Louise O Neill.
