YA
Missy always suspected that she and her relative Claire were closer than cousins. After a school hoax goes viral, family secrets about the two girls and a third, Genevieve, are slowly revealed. The climax is painstakingly slow in coming; and once the not-unexpected reveal is made, the conclusion feels rushed. But the engaging third-person narrative sticks close to the girls' emotions.
