For a few weeks every summer, Sara was Mandy's best friend. At Highmark, the lake resort where their families vacationed, the two were in a world of their own. Or at least Mandy got to be part of Sara's world.
But now Sara’s dead. The police ruled her death an accident; a tragic mistake after a night of impaired judgment. For the past year, Mandy's coped by escaping: leaving home and barely keeping it together at school. The last thing she wants to do is return to Highmark this summer—even if she does need "closure." As soon as she's back, though, she hears the whispers: someone killed Sara Ellis.
And if she’s not careful, they'll figure out it's all her fault.
As evidence resurfaces and anonymous accusations are scrawled in angry red spray paint, Mandy must confront the truths she's been avoiding about last summer. Because someone wants to make her pay for what happened to Sara that night.
Content considerations for Now She’s Dead: This book features a main character with severe anxiety, struggling with the death of someone with whom she had a toxic friendship. There is blood and violence typical to the genre, as well as some slight disordered eating, alcohol consumption, and cursing.

Teaser blurb:
Rory Wilson and Celeste Markham are friends. Or that’s what everyone thinks. Their boyfriends are co-captains of the soccer team, they hang out with the same group, and they’re even going to the same college in the fall. The truth is, they've been secretly sabotaging one another since middle school, and the only thing keeping their frenemy-ship from total destruction is that they each know the others’ darkest secret.
But when Rory spies her boyfriend hooking up with Celeste, the endgame begins. Now she has plans to finally get Celeste exiled from the friend group so she no longer has to play second-best to the insufferably perfect Celeste. It'll happen at the beach house where the entire group is kicking off the summer with a week of chilling by the pool, partying, and—if Rory plays her cards right—shocking revelations that will turn everyone against Celeste.
But taking down a frenemy is no easy task, and Rory’s not the only one in the house bent on destruction. Either Celeste is even more devious than Rory realized, or someone else is stealthily playing the circle of friends against one another. As a storm strands them all in the house, tensions rise and the dangers escalate. Rory doesn't know whether she's the target of this secret revenge, or if Celeste is. Will she be the one to end up dead? Or the one left without an alibi?
