Addy Hanlon is definitely Beth Cassidy's closest friend and respected lieutenant. Beth calls the photographs and Addy carries them out, a long-established order of things that has brought them to the pinnacle of these high-school occupations. Now they're elderly people who rule the intensely competitive cheer squad, feared and followed by the other women - before young new mentor arrives. Cool and commanding, an emissary from the adult world just beyond their reach, Instructor Colette French pulls Addy and the other cheerleaders into her life. Only Beth, unsettled by the new regime, remains outside Coach's gold group, waging a understated but vicious campaign to gain back her position as "top young lady" - both with the team and with Addy herself. Then a suicide centers a police inspection on Instructor and her squad. After the first influx of shock and grief, Addy will try to uncover the reality behind the death - and learns that the boundary between commitment and love can be dangerous surfaces. The fresh passions of girlhood are brought to life in this taut, unflinching exploration of companionship, ambition, and vitality. Award-winning novelist Megan Abbott, writing using what Tom Perrotta has hailed as "total expert and an almost desperate intensity," offers a harrowing glimpse in to the dark heart and soul of the all-American young lady.
