About this audiobook
Jessica Goodman meets Jesse Q. Sutanto in this twisty enemies-to-lovers thriller, full of secrets, privilege, and murder.
Eighteen-year-old Addie Blackwood regrets nothing more than one horrible, mistake-filled night last summer. Hours after she hurled the worst words she could think of at her sister, Fiona was found dead at the bottom of a ravine. The police ruled her death an accident, but Addie’s never bought it. Her ballet-prodigy sister didn’t slip and fall; she was pushed. And Addie’s number one suspect: Thatcher Montgomery, the rich kid down the street who always had a thing for Fiona.
But when Thatcher is found dead in the same ravine, Addie must admit she was wrong. And now her only ally (and alibi) in catching the real killer is none other than her childhood rival, Seth Montgomery—Thatcher’s cousin and the boy she’s always loved to hate. Arguing with Seth is easy; working with him without thinking of that night last summer, near impossible.
As Addie and Seth dodge corrupt police and his even more corrupt family, their investigation pulls them closer than ever before. But as they approach the explosive and murderous truth, their growing bond may not be enough to keep Addie safe—in fact, it may turn her into the next victim.

"Girls Who Burn" is an engaging mystery that follows Addie Blackwood, who has spent the past year grappling with the death of her sister, Fiona. The police ruled it an accident, but Addie is convinced that Fiona was murdered—and she knows exactly who is responsible! Driven by the need for justice, Addie relentlessly works to prove the police wrong and takes to a crime forum on social media to keep her sister’s case in the public eye.
The author weaves many twists and turns throughout the novel, and the fast-paced plot makes this a quick, suspenseful read. However, my main issue was with Addie herself. I found her character rather annoying and struggled to connect with her. That said, I did appreciate her fierce love for her family. Overall, "Girls Who Burn" is an entertaining YA mystery with a sweet romance that will keep readers hooked.
