Review
It’s a dark, devastating, and realistic portrait of a girl in over her head in more ways than one. What McVoy (Being Friends with Boys) gets so powerfully right in this novel is the way that love can descend like a fog, impairing one’s judgment and obscuring the truth. < -="" i="" -=""> - Publishers Weekly - < -="" -="">
Synopsis
What would you do for love? Nikki helps her boyfriend commit murder in this "dark, devastating, and realistic portrait of a girl in over her head" (Publishers Weekly).
Nikki's life is far from perfect, but at least she has Dee. Her friends tell her that Dee is no good, but Nikki can't imagine herself without him. He's hot, he's dangerous, he has her initials tattooed over his heart, and she loves him more than anything. There's nothing Nikki wouldn't do for Dee. Absolutely nothing.
So when Dee pulls Nikki into a crime - a crime that ends in murder - Nikki tells herself that it's all for true love. Nothing can break them apart. Not the police. Not the arrest that lands Nikki in jail. Not even the investigators who want her to testify against him.
But what if Dee had motives that Nikki knew nothing about?
Nikki's love for Dee is supposed to be unconditional...but even true love has a limit. And Nikki just might have reached hers.
