Description
A twisty, dark psychological thriller that will leave you guessing til the very end." Teen Vogue
[A] riveting read " NPR
The line between best friend and something more is a line always crossed in the dark.
Jess Wong is Angie Redmond s best friend. And that s the most important thing, even if Angie can t see how Jess truly feels. Being the girl no one quite notices is OK with Jess anyway. If nobody notices her, she s free to watch everyone else. But when Angie begins to fall for Margot Adams, a girl from the nearby boarding school, Jess can see it coming a mile away. Suddenly her powers of observation are more a curse than a gift.
As Angie drags Jess further into Margot s circle, Jess discovers more than her friend s growing crush. Secrets and cruelty lie just beneath the carefree surface of this world of wealth and privilege, and when they come out, Jess knows Angie won t be able to handle the consequences.
When the inevitable darkness finally descends, Angie will need her best friend.
It doesn t even matter that she probably doesn t understand how much she means to me. It s purer this way. She can take whatever she wants from me, whenever she wants it, because I m her best friend.
A Line in the Dark is a story of love, loyalty, and murder.
"Mesmerizing." Kirkus, starred review.
