Seventeen-year-old Darcy Prentiss has long held the title of \u201ctown slut.\u201d She knows how to have a good time, sure, but she isn\u2019t doing anything all the guys haven\u2019t done. But when you\u2019re a girl with a reputation, every little thing that happens seems to keep people whispering\u2014especially when your ex-best friend goes missing.<\/p>\n

But if anyone were to look closer at Darcy, they\u2019d realize there\u2019s a lot more going on beneath the surface. Staying out late, hooking up, and telling lies is what Darcy does to forget. Forget about the mysterious disappearance of her friend. Forget about the dark secret she and her cousin Nell share. Forget about that hazy Fourth of July night. So when someone in town anonymously nominates Darcy to be in the running for Bay Festival Princess\u2014a cruel act only someone with a score to settle would make\u2014all of the things that Darcy wants to keep hidden threaten to erupt in ways she wasn\u2019t prepared to handle\u2026and isn\u2019t sure if she can.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
