About this item
The splintered relationship between two Indian American cousins is at the center of this dark, twisty YA mystery - perfect for fans of Tiffany D. Jackson, Karen McManus, and Angeline Boulley.. Shy, nerdy Tanvi has always thought of her perfect cousin Mimi as her sister. Not only did Mimi's family raise Tanvi after the tragic death of her parents, fierce Mimi has always protected Tanvi at school. At least until Mimi fell under the spell of their flawless, rich classmate, Beth . . . Tanvi's biggest bully.. Fearing another terrible year, Tanvi decides to take a desperate, preemptive strike - and captures an incriminating photo of Mimi and Beth at a party. When Tanvi wakes up the next day with a bump on her head, scratches on her leg, and no memory of what caused her injuries, Mimi is gone.
