No Place Left to Hide

Pacific Northwest Waldorf Prep senior Brooke Goodwin narrates this propulsive tale of revenge, surprising revelations, and confounded expectations by Lally (That’s Not My Name). Class president Brooke, the daughter of a powerful family, is almost guaranteed acceptance into Yale—she is a legacy, after all. The only potential snag is her involvement in an “incident” involving former friend Claire Heck. Alternating chapters shift between present day and flashbacks to a party that occurred three months prior to the book’s start. “Before” Brooke throws a rager at her family’s lake house, during which she and Claire fight. “Now” Brooke attends a gathering at a beach house on the Oregon coast, where she connects with her school crush, hot soccer player Dylan Miller, Claire’s former boyfriend. Both parties are filled with genre-typical happenings relating to teen drama and romance—until circumstances take a deadly turn. Mind-bending twists shift the action into high gear as Brooke endeavors to make it home alive in a thriller that’s sure keep readers on the edges of their seats. Most characters are white. Ages 14–up. Agent Mandy Hubbard, Emerald City Literary. (Jan.)
