      È possibile che gli studenti del più prestigioso liceo privato della California non siano in realtà quello che sembrano? Bree, Olivia, Kitty e Margot sorridono, prendono ottimi voti, non rispondono alle critiche e non si fanno mai coinvolgere in alcun tipo di discussione: sono ragazze perfette. O forse è ciò che vogliono far credere. Il fatto che non rispondano alle offese o non prendano le parti della compagna più debole non significa che accettino le ingiustizie, i commenti maschilisti e le classifiche in cui sono definite in base alla bellezza del proprio fondoschiena. Bree, Olivia, Kitty e Margot non insultano mai, non si arrabbiano: loro pareggiano i conti, e lo fanno in modo sottile e irreversibile, con l'umiliazione pubblica. Scelgono una vittima, ideano un piano, lo mettono in atto. Sono ragazze perfette, agiscono in modo perfetto. Fino a che qualcosa non va irrimediabilmente storto e la vittima viene trovata morta tra le mura della scuola, e tutte le prove conducono alle quattro ragazze. E l'inizio di una nuova vendetta... solo che questa volta non è la loro.

      @doctorfusionbebop: Some 17 y. o. chick named Dee Guerrera was just sent to Alcatraz 2.0 for killing her stepsister. So, how long do you think she'll last? @morrisdavis72195: I hope she meets justice! She'll get what's coming to her! BWAHAHA! @EltonJohnForevzz: Me? I think Dee's innocent. And I hope she can survive. WELCOME TO THE NEAR FUTURE, where good and honest citizens can enjoy watching the executions of society's most infamous convicted felons, streaming live on The Postman app from the suburbanized prison island Alcatraz 2.0. When seventeen-year-old Dee Guerrera wakes up in a haze, lying on the ground of a dimly lit warehouse, she realizes she's about to be the next victim of the app. Knowing hardened criminals are getting a taste of their own medicine in this place is one thing, but Dee refuses to roll over and die for a heinous crime she didn't commit. Can Dee and her newly formed posse, the Death Row Breakfast Club, prove she's innocent before she ends up wrongfully murdered for the world to see? Or will The Postman's cast of executioners kill them off one by one?

      This gripping thriller follows two teens whose lives become inextricably linked when one confesses to murder and the other becomes determined to uncover the real truth no matter the cost. What happened to Zoe won't stay buried... When Anna Cicconi arrives to the small Hamptons village of Herron Mills for a summer nanny gig, she has high hopes for a fresh start. What she finds instead is a community on edge after the disappearance of Zoe Spanos, a local girl who has been missing since New Year's Eve. Anna bears an eerie resemblance to Zoe, and her mere presence in town stirs up still-raw feelings about the unsolved case. As Anna delves deeper into the mystery, stepping further and further into Zoe's life, she becomes increasingly convinced that she and Zoe are connected--and that she knows what happened to her. Two months later, Zoe's body is found in a nearby lake, and Anna is charged with manslaughter. But Anna's confession is riddled with holes, and Martina Green, teen host of the Missing Zoe podcast, isn't satisfied. Did Anna really kill Zoe? And if not, can Martina's podcast uncover the truth?
