About the Book:
Irelan University in Irvine, Indiana, with its
whitewashed, medieval-looking buildings and air-conditioned dorms
where everyone lives in suites, seems like the ideal small school in
almost every way. And Lorylyn Porter loves the college
lifestyle…staying up all night, sleeping all day, partying during the
week…plus, she couldn’t have asked for better suitemates. The four of
them – Lorylyn, Zibby, Kylar, and Jansen – quickly become an
inseparable group, dubbing themselves the Weird-Name Whores and their
suite The Whorehouse. So far Irelan is everything the four girls
could’ve hoped for and exactly what each of them needs it to be.
For Zibby, it’s an escape from her parents’
country-club lifestyle and the drama of a small town where “high
school never ends.” For Kylar, it’s a new scene…a different setting
from the college town where she grew up and has been going to college
parties for years. For Jansen, it’s 800 miles from parents she doesn’t
talk to and wants to be nothing like. And for Lorylyn, who has brought
with her secrets and heartache her new friends know nothing about, it
was the hardest decision of her life to come here but the only choice
she could see.
Now, two hours from the only people who might
understand a secret she hasn’t told anyone, Lorylyn is surrounded by
other secrets as well, those of her suitemates and those of the boys
next door. Half-told stories, late-night hookups, unspoken feelings, a
case of pills disguised as birth control, acts put on to keep up
appearances, unexplained relationships, the mysterious “Jenna,” and
four rings and four earrings that each hold meaning known only to a
few. And then there is the deepest secret of all, twisted beneath the
surface of the past and part of a puzzle so deceptive that those who
hold the missing pieces do so unknowingly and the only person who
understands the danger of the answer isn’t scared enough to ask the
questions that would put the pieces together.
