New Girl by Paige Harbison follows the story of a new girl who reluctantly arrives at Manderley Academy, only to find herself caught in the shadow of Becca Normandy, the girl who mysteriously went missing the previous year. Everyone at the academy still mourns Becca’s disappearance, and they can’t help but compare the new girl to her. As she navigates the tension and tries to make her own place, the one person she can’t seem to avoid is Max Holloway, Becca’s ex-boyfriend. Their growing connection makes things even more complicated, as the memory of Becca looms large over their budding relationship. The new girl can’t help but feel that Becca might still be out there, watching and waiting to reclaim what she once had.
