About the Book: Willa’s string of good-hearted but ill-conceived thefts at her former high school catapulted her into a life she hardly knows. She became a cult hero, but soon afterward, her mom disappeared, leaving only a cryptic message. When Willa hit the California highway to find her, she discovered a dark family secret: Joanne Fox is not who she says she is-and neither is Willa. Now, Willa and fellow trouble-maker Aidan must race to St. Louis, Missouri, Willa’s birthplace. There, they hope to find answers about Willa’s past. But uncovering the truth requires solving a decades-old murder case.

Unfortunately, the perps are still out there . . . and willing to do whatever it takes to keep the case cold. With Willa’s face on the nightly news and the police hot on her trail, it might not matter that Aidan and her friend Tre are there to help. Willa’s only hope is to find the truth before it finds her first.






About the Author: I'm the author of the PRETTY CROOKED trilogy (HarperCollins) and COIN HEIST (Adaptive), now a Netflix Original film starring Sasha Pieterse. My story "About You Now" is featured in the forthcoming anthology BEHIND THE SONG (Sourcebooks).

Do I Recommend this book? Yes

Notes and Opinions: Well this one was a lot better than what I thought it was going to be.  I was a little scared on what was going to happen.  The big secret was revealed and now its time for some payback!  Willa and her friends kick butt and go after the bad guy!  I have to say that this one had a lot of surprises!  From who Willa ends up with to just how the book ends.  Willa has grown so much over the course of these three books and it was a wonderful ride. Willa went from this careless teenager to starting on the road to becoming an adult.  It would be awesome for this story to continue as a NA title and then going full blast into the adult area!  There is so much that the author could do with it.
