When Chris Moore, a high school sophomore, is horrifically killed in a car accident, Armstrong Prep is filled with questions. Who was driving? And who was at fault?

Eighteen-year-old Spencer Sandoval wishes she knew. Rumors that her ex, Ethan, was the driver is spreading and she can't seem to defend him. She can't remember anything of that night, other than the messy breakup. Why was she in the car with Ethan, Chris, and Tabby Hill, the new loner at school.

When a true crime podcast made by Spencer's classmate starts hunting for answers, Spencer is pushed into the depths of this dark mystery. Was it all the result of just a night that went horribly wrong? Is it a coincidence that everyone in that car, except Chris, was on Armstrong's esteemed honor roll, the Headmaster's List? In a town that is run by privilege, the truth can come at a deadly price.

I thought this one was decent but not great. I had guessed the ending from almost the very beginning so nothing was surprising to me. Also, not a huge fan of how the author ended some of the relationships.
