The Yard of Thorns

Margo Sauvageau has come to Brantley College to finish something that started nine years ago, when three freshmen lied about her brother and buried him in the wreckage. She knows what they are now: Theo with his oars and his manners, Sloane with her father's name and everyone's vote, Renn with his expensive silence. She has a false name, a copied key, and eighteen emails she is going to release one at a time, like teeth. What she does not have is a plan for Renn, who confesses before she can break him, or for Theo, who has been waiting for her since orientation week, or for the version of herself who starts to want the flowers. She does not get a wedding. She gets a headstone with the right name on it.
