This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

People think living in a small town is peaceful. You get to talk to your neighbors, hear the small town gossip, maybe even find true love...well that's what happens in the books anyway. But I'll let you in on a little secret. Small towns are definitely not peaceful. Everyone knows everything about everybody. The things you want to be kept secret are exposed. The things you wished weren't true are. Nothing is private. Now the small town I'm living isn't filled with secret vampires or werewolves with a sexy six pack. The small town of Pinewood is filled with people. Normal, regular, everyday people. Or so they appear that way. Pinewood is filled with mentally insane people. I know who they are. Where they live. What caused them to become insane. This book is a book of truths. This book is filled with secrets no one else knows. This book is mine. This, is the book of the mentally insane. ******************** DISCLAIMER: There are things in this book that could be scary for younger children so I suggest you're 15+ if you're going to read this book. This book also talks about suicide and other forms of dying that could be sensitive topics for some people.
