All That Sparkles Isn't Real Sapphire
Irelan University in Irvine, Indiana, with its whitewashed,
medieval-looking buildings and air-conditioned dorms where everyone
lives in suites, seems like the ideal small school in almost every way.
And Lorylyn Porter loves the college lifestyle...staying up all night,
sleeping all day, partying during the week...plus, she couldn't have
asked for better suitemates. The four of them - Lorylyn, Zibby, Kylar,
and Jansen - quickly become an inseparable group, dubbing
themselves the Weird-Name Whores and their suite The Whorehouse.
So far Irelan is everything the four girls could've hoped for and exactly
what each of them needs it to be.
For Zibby, it's an escape from her parents' country-club lifestyle and the
drama of a small town where "high school never ends." For Kylar, it's a
new scene...a different setting from the college town where she grew up
and has been going to college parties for years. For Jansen, it's 800
miles from parents she doesn't talk to and wants to be nothing like. And
for Lorylyn, who has brought with her secrets and heartache her new
friends know nothing about, it was the hardest decision of her life to
come here but the only choice she could see.
Now, two hours from the only people who might understand a secret
she hasn't told anyone, Lorylyn is surrounded by other secrets as well,
those of her suitemates and those of the boys next door. Half-told
stories, late-night hookups, unspoken feelings, a case of pills disguised
as birth control, acts put on to keep up appearances, unexplained
relationships, the mysterious "Jenna," and four rings and four earrings
that each hold meaning known only to a few. And then there is the
deepest secret of all, twisted beneath the surface of the past and part of
a puzzle so deceptive that those who hold the missing pieces do so
unknowingly and the only person who understands the danger of the
answer isn't scared enough to ask the questions that would put the
pieces together.
