Description
**A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**
From rising star Jessica Goodman, author of They Wish They Were Us, comes a new fast-paced thriller about two sisters vying for the top spot on their cross-country team—until a teammate’s disappearance throws their lives off course.
"An utter page-turner. Goodman's voice is razor-sharp and keenly precise. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn!" —Tiffany D. Jackson NYT Bestselling Author of White Smoke and Grown
Stella and Ellie Steckler are only a year apart, but their different personalities make their relationship complicated. Stella is single-minded, driven, and she keeps to herself. Cross-country running is her life and she won't let anything get in the way of being the best. Her sister Ellie is a talented runner too, but she also lets herself have fun. She has friends. She goes to parties. She has a life off the course.
The sisters do have one thing in common, though: the new girl, Mila Keene. Both Stecklers' lives are upended when Mila comes to town. At first, Ellie and Stella view the new star athlete as a threat. But soon Ellie can't help but be drawn to her warm, charming personality. After her best friend moved away and her first boyfriend betrayed her, Ellie's been looking for a friend to share her secrets. Stella finds herself noticing the ways she and Mila are similar. Mila is smart and strong—she's someone Stella can finally connect with. As the two get closer, Stella becomes something she vowed she'd never be: distracted.
With regionals approaching and college scouts taking notice, the pressure is on. Each girl has their future on the line and they won't let friendships get in their way. But then, suddenly, Mila goes out on a training run and never returns. No one knows what happened, but all eyes are on the Steckler sisters.

Gr 9 Up-Stella and Ellie are sisters who are only 14 months apart. They share a gift and a love for cross-country running. However, their very different personalities reveal a host of secrets that divide them as well. High school junior Stella lost her college scholarship offer from Georgetown and gained a reputation for resorting to anything, including violence, to win. Though high school sophomore Ellie is attracting the attention of college scouts, she's preoccupied with the consequences of a summer love affair with a fellow runner. When a talented new girl threatens the sisters' dominance on the team, they befriend her in different ways, but when she goes missing, Stella and Ellie are suspects in her disappearance. Three well-characterized narrators bring the compelling audiobook to life in first-person narratives: Jesse Vilinsky as Stella, Phoebe Strole as Ellie, and Kristen Sieh as Raven. Vilinsky's clipped voice reflects Stella's personality: stark, angry, and remote. Strole voices Ellie in a youthful, innocent, more expressive way that masks a hidden strength. Sieh is perfect as Raven as she rationalizes her actions. Most of the characters are white, the sisters are Jewish, one character is Korean American, and there are a couple of gay characters. VERDICT Give this to your Karen McManus and Holly Jackson fans, and those who love suspenseful and fast-paced audiobooks.-Julie Paladino, formerly with East Chapel Hill H.S., NC
