Description
From the critically acclaimed author of Honor Girl, comes a "sassy, sultry whodunit" (School Library Journal) set in an Atlanta boarding school that's infused with subversive humor and featuring a cast of bizarre and unforgettable characters. It's better to know the truth. At least sometimes. Halfway through Friday night's football game, beautiful cheerleader Brittany Montague--dressed as the giant Winship Wildcat mascot--hurls herself off a bridge into Atlanta's surging Chattahoochee River. Just like that, she's gone. Eight days later, Benny Flax and Virginia Leeds will be the only ones who know why. Their search for the truth reveals a web of depravity hiding in plain sight at their picture perfect school. When love becomes obsession, how far will someone go to make their twisted fantasies a reality? And who has the power to stop them? A twisty, turny mystery loaded with the perfect punch of satire and heart.

Reviews
"With WE KNOW IT WAS YOU, Maggie Thrash has proven she can do plain old words every bit as well as she does words and pictures. Here's a whodunnit that's less about whodunnit than about howitwasdun, a twisted mystery of mascots, cheerleaders, and the unlikely duo that has to untangle all the knots . . . just as wonderful as it is hilarious."--Tommy Wallach, New York Times bestselling author of We All Looked Up and Thanks for the Trouble
"WE KNOW IT WAS YOU is the definition of a page turner. Thrash's unique ability to balance humor, mystery, and teen angst blew me away. Hilarious, twisty, and full of unforgettable characters--this is damn good stuff."--John Corey Whaley, Printz Award-winning author of Where Things Come Back and National Book Award Finalist Noggin
"We Know it Was You has all the elements of a great read: mystery, humor, romance and drama . . . Thrash's writing is so mesmerizingly good I found myself re-reading sentences for the sheer pleasure and surprise of them. This not your typical boarding school/high school novel, it's way more fun. Go Wildcats!"--Cecily von Ziegesar, author of Gossip Girl
