It's the spring break of their senior year. Nine teens are gathered at a posh beach lodge for a couple of days of fun and surf. Sounds like a Hollister ad in real life, right?
Not exactly according to Gabriella Lepore, author of Bad Like Us. Not Everyone in the group gets along really well. For instance, there's a social media diva with a very poor sense of boundaries who annoyingly fits and posts everything. And one of the girls is there with her boyfriend and her ex. There are tensions simmering under the surface…
…that flare up when Piper gets an unsigned note that is believed to be from her ex indicating that he isn't over her yet. Javi, her current boyfriend, is hurt and confused. People are taking sides.
That might Eva ventures into a creepy nearby cave. She hears a scream. She thinks she hears running footsteps. She finds a smartphone with a cracked screen. The next morning Piper's body is found at the back of the cave. Police are interviewing everyone. Alliances are forming, breaking up, and reforming. Secrets are coming to light…
…the last thing they need is a big storm to sweep in killing the power and making it impossible to come or leave.
On a purrrsonal note, this is the 2,600th book I've reviewed on this blog. Guess I'd better set out some cat treats so Tobago can celebrate.
A great shout out goes out to the authors of those books, the librarians who hooked me up with them, and you, my fabulous readers.
