ABOUT THE BOOK

A new student arrives at Prentiss Everton Academy, a renowned boarding school attended by America's Black elite, bearing a striking resemblance to its previous Queen Bee—who mysteriously died the year before—in this juicy thriller filled with lies, wealth and murder for fans of Gossip Girl.

THIS CASE ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE...AND NEITHER IS SHE.

Kennedy Churchwell has decided that her senior year at Prentiss Everton Academy is going to be her best. After the accidental death of her classmate and ex–best friend Whitney Templeton last semester, she’s taken her rightful place at the top of her school’s social pyramid. Whitney was the Academy’s queen bee, but now she’s gone. And she’s never coming back.

But when new student Tessa Edmond shows up on move-in day bearing a striking resemblance to Whitney, all Kennedy’s best-laid plans go out the window.

Did Whitney have a secret twin? All of campus is talking, but no one knows the truth.

Tessa is keeping a secret: She isn't who she says she is. 

Neither is Kennedy.
