The Perfect Girl

The Perfect Girl by Gilly MacMillan.   464 pages.  on order - due out in August, 2016

What’s the true price of a second chance?  Zoe Maisey is about to find out.  A 17 year-old with a genius IQ, Zoe was involved in a tragic incident three years ago.  Having served her time, she’s now living with her mother and new step-father, and trying to rebuild her life.  However, at a recital that has been planned for months, everything changes in an instant and by the end of the evening, Zoe’s mother is dead.  As everyone tries to piece together just what happened, Zoe knows too well that the truth is usually less than obvious, and that it can be difficult to see what’s right in front of you.


This is a tautly written drama where the tension steadily builds as the layers of the story are revealed.  Characters that at first seem unsympathetic turn out to be different than previously thought, while others, seemingly wonderful on the surface, are revealed to be something else altogether.
