18yo Rick and Martina (Teeny) are ready to wait out their senior year. When last year’s yearbooks get distributed, however, someone has relabeled some of the pictures with death predictions. And Rick and Teeny are on the list. The situation is easy to ignore as a joke - but then one of the predictions comes true - and then another one. The best friends decide they’d better get together with the other proclaimed victims and find the person behind the prank - and the deaths - before they are all on the wrong side of life.
Authors have not run out of macabre ways to turn teenage life into a murder mystery. McBride has made the murderer hard to spot - I’m not sure that anyone can pick up on who it is until she lays down a very obvious clue.
