Descrição da editora
A poignant and powerful story of a grieving girl willing to risk everything, perfect for fans of Robin Benway and Jandy Nelson.
On prom night, Hannah MacLaren sits in the headmaster's office in her fanciest dress, soaked to the bone. She is in huge trouble after pulling the fire alarm right as the prom queen was about to be crowned. But Hannah had her reasons . . .
One year ago, her cousin Sophie, who was also her best friend and the person she loved most in the world, died of an overdose. Drowning in grief, Hannah became obsessed with one question: Who gave Sophie those pills? Who is refusing to give her family the closure they deserve?
Then she concocted a plan: enroll at her cousin's fancy private school with a new look and a mouthful of lies, and finally uncover the truth.
But Hannah didn't expect all the lines to blur. She didn't expect Sophie's friends to be so complicated. She didn't expect to fall for her longtime enemy. Now, she must choose to either let herself really mourn Sophie and move on, or see her search through to its explosive end--even if it means destroying herself.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
When her cousin Sophie dies from an opioid overdose, Maryland high school junior Hannah is devastated and bewildered; she and her family have no idea how or why Sophie had the pills. Seeking answers, Hannah collaborates with Sophie's best friend Gabi to conceal her true identity behind a new look and enroll in Sophie's prestigious private school, hoping to find the classmate Hannah believes gave Sophie the drugs. Though initially scornful of her new schoolmates' wealth and privilege, the last thing Hannah expects to find at Ingleside Country Day School is a thoughtful companion in former debate competitor Christian Dailey. The nonlinear timeline—rendered in Hannah's wry first-person voice and detailing events from before and after Sophie's death—occasionally slows the pace of this tense novel, but nevertheless provides insight into Hannah's motivations. Avoiding pat answers, Lord (The Map from Here to There) convincingly conveys the grief that Hannah feels over Sophie's death, depicting via Hannah's charade the lengths to which one might go when seeking healing and closure. Main characters read as white; context clues suggest racial diversity among the supporting cast. Ages 13–up.
