About

Ginny, Sharon, Terri, and Bev are all senior honor students in high school in a rural community in upstate New York. They hardly ever cut school, but on the day that they do-driving south to New Jersey-they find themselves in the wrong spot at the wrong time as an unemployed loner goes on a shooting spree. Those who return home face the nearly impossible task of making sense not only of the act, but of their own lives.

Reviews

"Witty and satisfying, Schweighardt's third novel (after Homebodies) explores such familiar themes as adolescent alienation and coming-of-age while sensitively considering the consequences for a bright teenage girl, already confused about identity, sexuality and psychological safety, of witnessing the random murder of a friend."
