The line between best friend and something more is a line always crossed in the dark.
ย
Jess Wong is Angie Redmondโs best friend. And thatโs the most important thing, even if Angie canโt see how Jess truly feels. Being the girl no one quite notices is OK with Jess anyway. If nobody notices her, sheโs free to watch everyone else. But when Angie begins to fall for Margot Adams, a girl from the nearby boarding school, Jess can see it coming a mile away. Suddenly her powers of observation are more a curse than a gift.
ย
As Angie drags Jess further into Margotโs circle, Jess discovers more than her friendโs growing crush. Secrets and cruelty lie just beneath the carefree surface of this world of wealth and privilege, and when they come out, Jess knows Angie wonโt be able to handle the consequences.
ย
When the inevitable darkness finally descends, Angie will need her best friend.

โIt doesnโt even matter that she probably doesnโt understand how much she means to me. Itโs purer this way. She can take whatever she wants from me, whenever she wants it, because Iโm her best friend.โ

A Line in the Dark is a story of love, loyalty, and murder.
