CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD!
This book follows a close group of girls at a boarding school while they struggle with the last year before (hopefully) leaving for university. This book focuses on how an outsider can upset the balance in your friendship group and whether this will bring you closer together and pull you apart.
The girls were all fleshed out really well and it was very clear from their personalities who was who. I love that their friendship is at the heart of this book rather than romance.
Harper had a twin sister, Jenna, who is at the forefront of her mind on a daily basis, however her death means Harper is left with a huge part of her life and identity missing. She now has to deal with the guilt she feels because she blames herself. She identifies as bisexual and even though this isn't a huge part of the storyline, it is good to see diversity between these characters.
Rowan is Harper's room mate in their remote boarding school in Scotland. She is a lesbian and everyone knows it. She is very loyal to her friends, however, this can also make her stubborn. I also loved Ama and Lily.
The new girl is Kirsty and she is hiding plenty of secrets. She becomes closest to Harper because they have a lot in common - both girls are grieving. However, Kirsty doesn't fit in because of her secrets and how she treats the other girls.
I loved how all the loose ends were tied up, it was emotional and heartwarming. I can't wait to read more from Cat Clarke!
