The line between best friend and something more is a line always crossed in the dark. Jess Wong is Angie Redmonds best friend. And thats the most important thing, even if Angie cant see how Jess truly feels. Being the girl no one quite notices is OK with Jess anyway. If nobody notices her, shes free to watch everyone else. But when Angie begins to fall for Margot Adams, a girl from the nearby boarding school, Jess can see it coming a mile away. Suddenly her powers of observation are more a curse than a gift. As Angie drags Jess further into Margots circle, Jess discovers more than her friends growing crush. Secrets and cruelty lie just beneath the carefree surface of this world of wealth and privilege, and when they come out, Jess knows Angie wont be able to handle the consequences. When the inevitable darkness finally descends, Angie will need her best friend."It doesnt even matter that she probably doesnt understand how much she means to me. Its purer this way. She can take whatever she wants from me, whenever she wants it, because Im her best friend." A Line in the Dark is a story of love, loyalty, and murder.. "Mesmerizing." - Kirkus, starred review.
