Synopsis:
Last summer, Sara Ellis was found dead by the lake, and only Mandy knows what really happened.
This summer, she's desperate to keep it a secret.
For a few weeks every summer, Sara was Mandy's best friend. At Highmark, the lake resort where their families vacationed, the two were in a world of their own. Or at least Mandy got to be part of Sara's world.
But now Sara’s dead. The police ruled her death an accident; a tragic mistake after a night of impaired judgment. For the past year, Mandy's coped by escaping: leaving home and barely keeping it together at school. The last thing she wants to do is return to Highmark this summer—even if she does need "closure." As soon as she's back, though, she hears the whispers: someone killed Sara Ellis.
And if she’s not careful, they'll figure out it's all her fault.
As evidence resurfaces and anonymous accusations are scrawled in angry red spray paint, Mandy must confront the truths she's been avoiding about last summer. Because someone wants to make her pay for what happened to Sara that night.

Review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book was amazing. I loved it from the very beginning right until the very end and what an ending that was. I was like oh no that person did not kill Sara. This is one of those books that hook you in and keeps you reading late at night early morning.
Mandy and her family go on vacation every summer to this beach resort to unwind and relax. This one summer her mother introduces her to Sara and they soon become best friends and do everything together. Then one summer things change and the two of them are fighting and are angry at each other. Sara wants Mandy to act one way and Mandy is not having it. Thy go out one night and thy are drinking and having a good time when Sara starts to act mean towards everyone. Mandy has had enough anhd the two end up fighting and after the fight Mandy runs away because she hears someone out there and sees a light. It is there that Mandy hides from the other person and witnesses Sara being killed.
It is a year of ups and downs for Mandy thinking she killed Sara. She has nightmares and blames herself for Sara's death. She stops talking to her sister and barely talks to her family. Then summer is here and the family goes back to the summer resort where Sara died and her family is having a memorial for Sara. This is where things get crazy because so many people are whispering and saying things like Sara was killed by Mandy.
This is where we find out who really killed Sara and why. This is a must read mystery book. Thank you Net-Galley for allowing me to read an ARC copy of this book.
