You Can Trust Me

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder meets I May Destroy You, this dark YA thriller is a bold feminist read with a pacy thriller plot that YA fans will love, looking head on at priviliege, bias, sexual assault and male allyship.

Tragedy hits a teenage New Year’s party . . .

When Alana’s best friend is found drowned in a pool, the forensic reports discover date-rape drug GHB in her blood. GHB from a drink Alana knows was meant for her. Despite the swirling rumours, the suspected group of boys seem untouchable. To investigate, Alana allows herself to be pulled into their glittering orbit. But among shifting alliances, changing alibis and buried secrets, can she pinpoint which of the boys is responsible before she becomes their next target?
