Thankfully none of my high school friends shared any secrets that gave me nightmares. Kit is haunted by the secret Diane shared with her (she did what?!!). She wants to rid herself of it, but the cat is out of the bag.I loved the "Then" and "Now" format as we
You either know Megan Abbott books or you don't. Once you start reading her novels, I'm not sure you can stop.
