Summary via Goodreads
This
is not a story of forgiveness...
The
mystery of their best friend's murder drives four girls to destroy the Gregory
family. Everyone at Hawthorne Lake Country Club saw Willa Ames-Rowan climb into a boat with James Gregory, the Club’s heir apparent. Everyone at Hawthorne Lake Country Club watched him return. Alone. They all know he killed her. But none of them will say a word. The Gregory family is very, very good at making problems go away.
Enter the W.A.R.—the war to avenge Willa Ames-Rowan. Four girls. Four very different motives for justice and revenge, and only one rule: destroy the Gregory family at any cost.
While going all lengths to find out what happened more secrets are uncovered and some that are better left unturned. Willa’s sis and friends find out that by trying to take down the Gregory family, they in turn are not expecting that all of their secrets and lives will soon be turned upside down as a result.
This book keeps you glued and guessing, it’s keeps you
wanting to know more. I went into this thinking it was merely a story of catty
rich kids, which it is somewhat, but it’s also more than that. It’s much more
than just a story of revenge, it’s one of love, hope, family and more
importantly finding yourself and wanting to belong.

Sounds like a really good book! Reminds me a little of The After Girls by Leah Konen, but that story involved a suicide, not a homicide, so they would be different enough for me to enjoy them both (:
