Publisher's Synopsis
Romy is the quintessential good girl: a straight-A student who has never given her parents a moment of worry, leaving them to focus on their other children (who are not quite so easy) and themselves as they go through a marriage crisis. So when Romy finds herself at the centre of a scandal, no one can quite believe it - least of all her mother Ailsa, who is also the head of her new school. Ailsa is quick to hold Romy's new boyfriend and his parents responsible for what has happened. But as mother and daughter reveal their very different versions of events, a darker truth emerges. It soon becomes apparent that Romy isn't the only member of her family harbouring secrets, and her disgrace becomes the catalyst for the unravelling of all those around her...
