Watching Edie

*This review is based on an advanced reading copy. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a chance to read the book in exchange for an honest review*
"Goes to show, though, doesn't it?" I find a tissue in my pocket and blow my nose.
"Show what?"
"Well, you know, that you never can tell about people."
This is a book that will probably stay with you for a while. A haunting psychological thriller, something that seems to be a story of a manipulative and obsessive girl turns into a manifestation of horrifying actions. When Edie, an attractive and immediately popular girl moves into town, Heather (an overweight and very self-conscious girl) is shocked to have Edie's attention and companionship. The girls bond over their broken home lives and become fast friends. Seemingly normal, right?
Wrong... so very wrong.
