Molly is a straight-A student. Jason is a talented basketball player. Lauren is a virtuous preacher’s daughter. It’s 2007 in Hanwell, Ohio, and the only thing they seem to have in common is taking part in a purity pledge.
But everyone is hiding something.
Now, as Hanwell High hosts a ten-year reunion, someone is determined to reveal the secrets that bind them irrevocably together...
Not my usual genre, but the book was given to me by a friend. I couldn't put it down, it was very good! The characters are well developed, neither "good guys" nor "bad guys" but just human with flaws and all. The teenage angst, superficiality and impulsiveness shone through, and the entire book was griping throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed it and very strongly recommend it.
This was a real page turner for me. The characters were all very believable, and I think I knew them all at my high school. A great read for anyone who is glad the teenage years are over! It really does bring it all back…
Exceptional storytelling. Vivid and thorough. I can absolutely see this adapted (maybe into a Netflix series). The main characters are all so well crafted and all have their own relatable struggles and the supporting cast around them enriches the story greatly. Here's hoping for a sequel!
