Four months. Three teens. Two parties. One murder. When the teenage son of a beloved politician is murdered, his classmate Olivia Holland finds herself at the heart of the investigation and accused of more than just murder. Plagued by cruel detectives, dangerous men and a fractured reputation, Olivia becomes an overnight sensation - The Most Hated Girl in the World. Yet two months ago she was the golden girl of Burnley High School, but her stellar reputation faded long before Evan Richardson took his last breath. Though the elusive Richardson family seem more interested in attention over justice, and their son - the beloved Evan - has secrets that even death won't relent.
