This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
Three teens investigate a murder—while each tries to hide their own complicated history with the dead girl—in this thought-provoking novel from award-winning author Pamela N. Harris. Perfect for fans of Karen M. McManus and Tiffany D. Jackson!
Hope Jackson is dead. Everyone is convinced she took her own life, but Liv, one of Hope’s best friends, isn’t so sure. Hope’s boyfriend, Brendan, was always jealous and possessive, and his alibi doesn’t really check out. But in the town’s eyes, Hope was just some nobody who was going to drag down golden boy Brendan.
So with the help of Hope’s other two best friends, Kizzie and Sherie, Liv is determined to bring Brendan’s actions to light. Together, they vow to make him pay.
But as their plans keep escalating, Liv begins to have second thoughts—especially as she’s realizing that Brendan may not be the only one with the motive or opportunity to kill Hope. Is Liv really getting justice for Hope, or is she just helping one of Hope’s so-called friends cover up their lies?

Why I’m Waiting: I saw that the comp names of Karen McManus and Tiffany D Jackson and that was all she wrote. I don’t need to know anything else about this lol No but for reals, with everyone thinking one thing, I want to know what makes her think she didn’t or wouldn’t do that. It sounds really good. (Even tho I think this boyfriend of hers sounded terrible lol) But I need to know who’s going to stop people from finding out the truth.
What about you? Have you heard of this? Will you add this to your TBR? Let me know in the comments!
