Beware That Girl by Teresa Toten

Set at Waverley school in New York, Kate has a scholarship to study and lives in a crummy flat rented from a Chinese couple whom she also works part time for. She had an abusive, murderous father and not a great time growing up.

Olivia is a rich girl, her dad isn't around a great deal as he works hard and away from home. Her mum has passed away and so she lives with her apartment cleaner, Anka whom is Polish.

Kate knows Olivia was in the year above her before disappearing for a year, but not why she did and so she looks up Olivia's record at school and discovers just what happened to her the past year despite what Olivia originally tells her.

Olivia and Kate become swift friends and super close and so eventually she invites Kate to live with her.

Meanwhile Mark is the director of Waverly school and Olivia is drawn to him and so Olivia finds herself trapped in an abusive sexual relationship. Due to the lack of love I feel Olivia has had surrounding her during her life as well as her mental health struggles. She also used to cut herself when younger and unfortunately, Mark abuses her leaving her disgusted with her body as she has cuts and bruises all over her body he made.

Fortunately, Olivia and Kate work together and upon discovering a photo album full of pictures of his victims in his flat they confront him together when he comes over to their flat to collect Olivia, resulting in a death and shock for the others.

This book is reminiscent of Gossip Girl and the Private series by Kate Brian. Thanks to the publisher for allowing me to review it.
