Book One of the Girls of Spindrift. From the New York Times bestselling author of the Flowers in the Attic and My Sweet Audrina series, now Lifetime movies, here begins a haunting new series featuring highly intelligent teenage girls who struggle to survive a specialized high school and find their place in a world that doesn't understand them. Such is the burden of being brilliant. Corliss is not like the other girls at her Los Angeles high school. Incredibly intelligent, shy, and a loner, she has difficultly in fitting in. What's worse, a clique of girls is out to get her because she's not down with their games. On the night of a school party, her refusal to take drugs with the girls leads them to take matters into their own hands--spiking her drink. Quickly, Corliss's entire life is turned upside down and no one--not even the handsome valedictorian who had agreed to go out with her--looks at her the same way. Just when she's wondering if she'll be able to return to her high school, someone mentions a new place: Spindrift. Could that be her way out? The four Girls of Spindrift novellas together form a spinoff to Bittersweet Dreams--available now!
