About this ebook
Are some secrets powerful enough to destroy a friendship – or even a life? An addictive 'missing girl' YA thriller from multi-award-winning author Sarah Crossan, that explores a dark and deadly online world, perfect for fans of Girl in Pieces, One of Us Is Lying and A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
Layla and Suki have always been inseparable. Wild Suki. Sensible Layla. Best friends with plans to escape their small town after exams. But lately Suki is obsessed with a mysterious online game – one that starts as fun and quickly turns dangerous. When the dares escalate, the messages get darker. And the girls are pulled into a catfishing scam they can’t escape.
When Suki disappears at the end-of-year party in the woods, Layla believes the game is to blame. But the deeper she digs, the more lies she uncovers.
