As an outsider, Becca believes she may be the only one who can uncover the truth…which is far more twisted than she ever imagined. But as she is drawn back into Natasha’s orbit, Becca starts putting the pieces together. Natasha turns to Becca, the best friend she dumped years before, to help her figure out the mystery.Īt first Becca isn’t sure that she even wants to help Natasha. Now Natasha’s two closest friends, who are usually her loyal sidekicks, are acting strangely.

So why was she pulled out of a freezing river after being dead for thirteen minutes? She doesn’t remember how she ended up in the icy water that night, but she does know this-it wasn’t an accident, and she wasn’t suicidal. Natasha is the most popular girl in school. But does that mean they didn’t try to kill her? Natasha’s sure that her friends love her.
