about the book
For Jill Sherer, high school's shaping up to be better
than she could've imagined. From the first week of
cheerleading practice, she and her best friends
Hillary and Lorylyn are included in a circle of
popular girls who open the door to a world of
exciting social possibilities. And on the first day of
school JIll meets Todd - hot, smart, athletic, funny,
and a flirt - the boy of her dreams.
But things with Todd don't go as Jill had hoped, she
and Hillary drift apart, and her circle of friends is
shaken because of Lorylyn's new boyfriend.
Desperate to get things back to the way they were,
Jill, along with her new best friend Hilton - a
gorgeous, intriguing girl who is the link between
Jill's old friends and her new ones - anxiously
awaits the one thing that never changes...Landon
Kessler's parties.
There, on a lake outside town, everyone comes
together time after time for dancing, drinking,
skinny-dipping, and spin the bottle. Spin the
bottle...the game that leads to new loves, bitter
jealousies, betrayals, and breakups. The game that
teasingly draws the circle of friends together, only
to rip them apart in unforeseeable ways. But they
keep coming back, some with hope, some with
malevolence, some with amused interest, to be
part of the saga that unfolds party after party,
month after month...
