YA
A year after Carly's murder, her ex-boyfriend Neily and friend Audrey team up to find her killer. Their investigation exposes unsettling secrets about her final months. Jarzab's deft construction of alternating narratives by Neily and Audrey reveals not only Carly's mysterious last days but also the characters' relationships with one another. The murder mystery, while suspenseful, is not as well developed as the fully realized characters.
