How the Goode Girls Died

From New York Times-bestselling author Alyssa Sheinmel comes a haunting, layered novel about loss, mental health, and the danger of keeping secrets for fans of Girl in Pieces and We Were Liars.

Francie, Now
Francie Buck is the new girl at Arborville Country Day, a prestigious private school ruled by a gossip app only the most popular students can access. At her old school, Francie was a loser-she lost her mother to cancer and her best friend to the popular kids-but enrolling at ACD is her chance to be someone new. When Francie's the first to learn her classmates Arden and Abigial Goode have died, the app's shadowy creator forces Francie into the mystery surrounding their deaths.

Abby, Then
Abby Goode is used to being alone. Her vicious older sister, Arden, who sits at the top of their prep school's strict hierarchy, keeps it that way. But when Abby finds an unexpected friend in lacrosse player Leo Finch, she realizes that together, they might be able to expose her sister's cruelty to the world.

As every twist brings Francie closer to the truth about what happened, the stakes for Abby grow higher, and both girls must reconsider who they can trust in this suspenseful, deeply-felt tale about the secrets that ruin lives-and the secrets that end them.
