Since both girls were
small, Addy Hanlon has always been Beth Cassidy's best friend and
right-hand lieutenant. Beth calls the shots and Addy carries them out, a
long-established order of things that has brought them to the pinnacle
of their high-school careers. Now they're seniors who rule the intensely
competitive cheer squad, feared and followed by the other girls - until
the young new coach arrives.
Cool and commanding, an emissary from the adult world just beyond their reach, Coach Colette French draws Addy and the other cheerleaders into her life. Only Beth, unsettled by the new regime, remains outside Coach's golden circle, waging a subtle but vicious campaign to regain her position as "top girl" - both with the team and with Addy herself.
And then a suspicious suicide hits close to home, and the police investigation focuses on Coach and her squad. As Addy begins to suspect what really happened, the line between right and wrong grows blurrier, and she must decide where her loyalties truly lie-and how far is too far to go for someone you love.
The raw passions of girlhood are brought to life in this taut, unflinching exploration of friendship, ambition, and power. Award-winning novelist Megan Abbott, writing with what Tom Perrotta has hailed as "total authority and an almost desperate intensity," provides a harrowing glimpse into the dark heart of the all-American girl.

Imi plac din ce in ce mai mult cartile contemporary. Ai ce invata din ele, sau cel putin iti pun situatii ce se pot intampla oricui, oricand, si, implicit, te fac sa-ti pui unele intrebari.
Prin urmare, as fi curioasa sa citesc cartea, sa-i alu deznodamantul.
pare o carte draguta
