Something happened a year or so back. Romy doesn't want to talk about it after the initial accusations, but now--well, she's still not willing to talk about it, and all that's happened is that she's become a social leper. 
 And then there's the giant party at the lake, where something more definitely happens, and Romy can't talk about it--because she doesn't remember any of it. She remembers going to the party, and then being found nearly 30 miles from the party the next day. Something happened--and not just to Romy. Queen Bee Penny also went missing, but she hasn't been found yet. And the whole school is furious that the search for Romy took away from the search for Penny. They're pissed that the wrong girl was found. 
 The story is intense and brutal--along the lines of Speak or Exit, Pursued by a Bear, with characters dealing with the aftermath of sexual assault.
