When Rachel Nardelli (Nerd-elli to friends and enemies) finds out that her childhood friend turned rival Alison Petrucci is found dead in Pleasant Pond, (the same place the two girls first said goodbye to each other back in eighth grade), the town of Waterbury is outraged by the fear of losing one of their own—the heir to Maine’s largest construction company. But it’s a little more complicated for Rachel. She saw Alison the night she died. Callous, she said something she shouldn’t have. She stirred up the past. The next morning, Alison was gone.Rachel and Alison’s diverging paths caused deep and irreparable rift in their relationship. Alison, by then the most bullied girl in school, left for private high school. Four years later, they both end up at Denman College, an elite liberal arts college in Maine, with plenty of scars and far more in common than either one of them would like to admit.Rachel, as News Editor of the school paper, is forced to examine not only what happened to Alison at the pond, but also what happened there eight years prior. Plagued by the complicated memories around their relationship, Rachel joins her journalism crew to investigate the murder. But as she revisits their fraught relationship, she falls into a web of cruelties that threaten to undo everything she understood about her past.
