Joella learned early that being quiet made people underestimate her. At school, silence meant safety-or so she thought. But when secrets start spreading, friendships turn sharp, and feelings get tangled in betrayal, Joella finds herself pulled into a world of rumors, stolen boyfriends, fake friendships, and quiet cruelty. Neema wants attention. Lysianne wants control. Louanne wants what isn't hers. Olana wants the truth. And Joella? She just wanted peace. This is a story about what happens when the quiet girl stops staying out of the mess-and the mess realizes she's been watching the whole time.
