Reach for this book when your teenager feels like an outsider or is struggling to find their place within a rigid social hierarchy. It is particularly powerful for those who use observation or intellectual interests as a shield against loneliness. The story follows two girls from opposite ends of the high school social spectrum who form an unlikely partnership to solve a murder when the local police fail to look past the obvious suspects. While the plot centers on a crime, the heart of the book is about female friendship, the reclaiming of one's identity, and the courage to trust your own intuition. It balances the high stakes of a thriller with the grounded emotional realities of teenage life, including the pressure to fit in and the weight of family expectations. It is a sophisticated, realistic mystery for teens who enjoy complex characters and sharp social commentary.
