First published in 2011

★ “Refreshingly free of cliche… a thoroughly enjoyable ride.”
− Kirkus [STARRED REVIEW]

Once upon a time there was a girl
who was special.
This is not her story.
Unless you count the part where I killed her.

Sixteen-year-old Alison wakes up in a mental institution. As she pieces her memory back together, she realizes she’s confessed to murdering Tori Beaugrand, the most perfect girl at school. But the case is a mystery. Tori’s body has not been found, and Alison can’t explain what happened. One minute she was fighting with Tori. The next moment Tori disintegrated. But that’s impossible. Right?

“An intriguing story… keeps readers guessing throughout.”
− Publishers Weekly
