- Summary
- "Set in the long, hot summer of 1973, Paula McLain's lyrical debut novel explores what happens when an insecure, motherless teenager falls under the dangerous spell of "that girl" - her older cousin Fawn. Fawn's worldly ways are mesmerizing to Jamie, who submits to a makeover - both inside and out - to win Fawn's approval. But over the course of a summer wrecked with tragedy and loss, Jamie learns that Fawn will use anything and anyone to further her own motives. When a local girl goes missing, Jamie realizes how dangerous Fawn truly is, and recognizes, too late, her own complicity in the disaster that unfolds around them." "Paula McLain's poignant debut is a compelling family portrait that explores the darker sides of love and loyalty."--BOOK JACKET.
