From Goodreads:
Maya has returned to Princeton for her college reunion—it’s been a decade since she graduated, and she is looking forward to seeing old faces and reminiscing about her time there. This visit is special because Maya will also be attending the graduation of her little sister, Naomi.
But what should have been a dream weekend becomes Maya’s worst nightmare when she receives the news that Naomi is dead. The police are calling it an accident, but Maya suspects that there is more to the story than they are letting on.
As Maya pieces together what happened in the months leading up to her sister’s death, she begins to realize how much Naomi hid from her. Despite Maya’s warnings, Naomi had joined Sterling Club, the most exclusive social club on campus—the same one Maya belonged to. And if she had to guess, Naomi was likely tapped for the secret society within it.
The more Maya uncovers, the more terrified she becomes that Naomi’s decision to follow in her footsteps might have been what got her killed. Because Maya’s time at Princeton wasn’t as wonderful as she’d always made it seem—after all, her sister wasn’t the first young woman to turn up dead. Now every clue is leading Maya back to the past . . . and to the secret she’s kept all these years.
Rapid Rating: High.
Usually for Rapid Ratings, I get e-copies and search for common terms to assess ratings. With this, I actually read 100 pages and extrapolated. At that stage, there were 11 uses of strong language, 12 uses of moderate, 6 of mild and 5 of Deity. So I’m extrapolating to it likely being about 35 uses of strong language, around 35-40 instances of moderate profanity, about 30-35 uses of mild language, and 20 instances of the name of Deity in vain. There is some sexual content in the part I read but little detail. There is a death by drowning. There are references to drug and alcohol use/abuse.
