About The Book

Girl in Pieces meets One of Us is Lying, told in Sarah Crossan’s inimitable and award-winning verse.

Connie Ryder is taken from her home in the dead of night and sent to Silver Lake Academy – a remote, high-security facility for ‘troubled’ teens. At Silver Lake, the vulnerable and the violent are locked in together under a brutal regime that aims to improve their behaviour. But when Connie learns she’s been given the bed of a missing girl named Belle, she is drawn deep into a chilling web of secrets and lies… 

A sensational, immersive and hugely propulsive ‘missing girl’ thriller, set against the backdrop of America’s controversial Troubled Teen industry.

'Crossan’s signature verse drives a propulsive plot, conjuring a growing sense of dread alongside astute observations about mental health and control.'

The Observer

'A razor-sharp thriller about control, silence, and survival. Once it grips you, it doesn’t let go.'

– Louise O'Neill

'GONE FOR GOOD is a twisty thriller, but it’s also a beautifully written exploration of grief and how we cope when we hit rock bottom. Sarah Crossan weaves a gripping tale of losing hope and finding it again. I couldn’t put it down.'
