Was It Tom?
The last day of school, the four of them made a promise: no secrets, no matter how far apart the holiday took them. Then a message arrives from Tom, except Tom is three hundred miles away, and he never sent it.
Now the group chats are full of a voice that knows too much. It knows their nicknames. It knows what happened at the dam. It knows exactly which of them to turn against the others.
To find out who’s really on the other side of the screen, the four of them will have to do the one thing they promised never to do: keep a secret from each other.
“How will they know it’s you, when you are only words on their little screens?”
Old Ruth, Chapter Two
