The author has set up an interesting situation with the characters Stella, Ellie, Mila, and Noah. From the brief synopsis, unpleasantness is hinted at from the previous year. Information is sketchy as to what Stella did to cause such concern from her coach and others. In the summary, the reader knows Mila will die, and one is left to wonder if one of the Steckler sisters or someone else is to blame.
