From the author of I Killed Zoe Spanos comes a "suspenseful and atmospheric" (Kirkus Reviews) YA thriller in the vein of The White Lotus and Karen M. McManus's The Cousins following a doomed family reunion at a posh Caribbean resort, where old grudges and dangerous secrets culminate in murder.
Eleven Mayweathers went on vacation. Ten came home.

It's been years since the fragmented Mayweather clan was all in one place, but the engagement of Addison and Mason's mom to the dad of their future stepbrother, Theo, brings the whole family to sunny Cancún, Mexico, for winter break. Add cousin Natalia to the mix, and it doesn't take long for tempers to fray and tensions to rise. A week of forced family "fun" reveals that everyone has something to hide, and as secrets bubble to the surface, no one is safe from the fallout. By the end of the week, one member of the reunion party will be dead—and everyone's a suspect:
The peacekeeper: Addison needs a better hiding place.
The outsider: Theo just wants to mend fences.
The romantic: Natalia doesn't want to talk about the past.
The hothead: Mason needs to keep his temper under control.

It started as a week in paradise meant to bring them together. But the Mayweathers are about to learn the hard way that family bonding can be deadly.

      Andi Arndt gives voice to former teen star Liv Latimer as she is thrown back into the spotlight 20 years after "Girl on the Verge" first aired. Filming a reunion special means closer proximity to her old castmates, forcing her to come to terms with her feelings for her costar, Ransom Joel, and to make tough decisions about her future. The point of view stays mainly with Liv, other than the enlightening times it switches to fan blogs and news articles. Arndt delivers a reserved persona for Liv, which is fitting with the character's private demeanor and is in stark contrast to the fanatical energy of the bloggers. Male voices are portrayed in pleasant tones and deep pitches without sounding exaggerated or out of Arndt's range. S.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from June 26, 2023
      During an elaborate vacation, a family’s secrets bring down the mood—and result in a murder—in this dynamic drama by Frick (Very Bad People). Over Christmas, 16-year-old Addison Acker-Mayweather and the rest of her extended family travel to Cancún to celebrate her mother’s engagement. She resolves to use the vacation to make up with her twin brother Mason, who’s been distant ever since she left him behind to attend a swanky private boarding school. But Mason is hiding something, and the siblings’ cousin Natalia is more interested in chatting with her online boyfriend than participating in forced family fun. Meanwhile, the twins’ soon-to-be stepbrother Theo, who is bisexual, hopes to bond with his future siblings, but the disappearance of two high schoolers from the resort and familial confrontation throw a wrench in his plans. The four teens’ alternating perspectives are interspersed with hotel memos, news articles, and police interrogations; ample red herrings and eye-popping twists further cultivate this compulsive read. Through nuanced character relationships that heighten the tension, Frick handily explores themes surrounding gender roles, loyalty, sexuality, and toxic masculinity in this cleverly layered mystery. Most characters read as white; Natalia is of Puerto Rican heritage. Ages 14–up.
