A girl new to boarding school discovers dark secrets and coverups after her roommate disappears, in this "beautifully written coming-of-age mystery that should appeal to fans of Tiffany Jackson, Kara Thomas, and Jumata Emill." (Shelf Awareness, starred review)
Finalist in the Goodreads Choice Awards!
After being home-schooled, Sade Hussein is starting her third year of high school at the prestigious Alfred Nobel Academy boarding school. Misfortune has been a constant companion throughout her life, but even she doesn't expect her new roommate, Elizabeth, to disappear after Sade's first night. Or for people to think she had something to do with it.
With rumors swirling around her, Sade catches the attention of the girls known as the Unholy Trinity. Between learning more about them-especially Persephone, who Sade is inexplicably drawn to-and playing catchup in class, Sade already has so much on her plate. But the police are hardly looking into what happened to Elizabeth, so it's up to her and Elizabeth's best friend, Baz, to investigate.
And then a student is found dead.
As Sade and Baz try to make sense of it all, she realizes there's more to Alfred Nobel Academy and its students than she thought. Secrets lurk around every corner and beneath every surface...Secrets that rival even her own.
This is a work of fiction, but it deals with many real issues, including sexual assault, rape, suicide and suicidal ideation, grief, and death of family members (including parents). For more content warnings, please go to faridahabikeiyimide .com/wsgl-content-warnings.
