She Was the Quiet One

When their mother dies suddenly, twins Bel and Rose Enright are shipped back east to their grandmother. She promptly enrolls in them in Odell Academy, a prestigious prep school, previously attended by their deceased father. In She Was the Quiet One by Michele Campbell problems arise almost immediately when the sisters arrive at the school.

Rose, the studious one, seems to be enjoying her classes though she struggles a bit to make friends. Bel loves to take risks and she falls in with the senior bad girls. Bel's new friends are the epitome of "mean girls" and they push her into embarrassing Rose and her roommate. In the age of social media, the embarrassing photos spread far and wide. 

But the fallout irrevocably separates the sisters and leads to the expulsion of some of the
 "mean girls." Rose's roommate is forced to leave the campus because of the slipper event and Rose is now treated as if she is invisible by the rest of the student body. Bel isn't as greatly impacted and she refuses to apologize to her sister. 

Both girls confide in their dorm parents - Rose to Mrs. Donovan and Bel to Mr. Donovan, that's where the problems begin.

An intricately spun yarn filled with dark secrets and unbridled ambition.
