But then something went wrong, and Delia and June haven’t spoken for a year when an announcement is made at their school that Delia is dead.June barely has time to mourn before Delia’s ex-boyfriend convinces her that Delia didn’t kill herself but was in fact murdered, and June is fast swept into a tangle of lies and deceit – and a conspiracy she can barely conceive of, never mind believe.Stylish, sexy and atmospheric, with so many twists it will leave you breathless.

Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls will be her fourth young adult novel published in the USA, and her UK debut.
