K.L. Gore Writes


​THE BOOK

Picture
Seven popular high school cheerleaders. Seven distinctive lives. Seven little secrets.
And the truth that haunts them all.
​
The Janes have everything: beauty, brains, a secure future. So why did co-captain
Natalie Greene trade her perfect life for eternal sleep? Her teammates hold pieces of
the puzzle, but putting the parts together means revealing defects and
vulnerabilities.

And when you're a Jane, you're flawless.
An afternoon of mourning turns into a day of disclosures. A day that challenges the
teammates to discover the true meaning of friendship.

Pub Date: 2017
Genre: YA
Buy: Amazon
