Everyone's Thinking It

At an elite boarding school in the English countryside,

Nigerian cousins Iyanu and Kitan are thrown into the middle of

a schoolwide conspiracy when everyone's juicy secrets are released

"Burn Book style" the week before the annual Valentine's Day Ball...

Within the walls of Wodebury Hall, reputation is everything. But

aspiring photographer Iyanu is more comfortable observing things

safely from behind her camera.

For Iyanu's estranged cousin Kitan, life seems perfect. She has

money, beauty and friends like queen bee Heather. But as a Nigerian

girl in a school as white and insular as Wodebury, Kitan struggles

with the personal sacrifices needed to keep her place - and

the protection she gets - within the exclusive popular crowd.

Then, photos from Iyanu's camera are stolen and splashed across

the school - each with a juicy secret written on it. With everyone's

dirty laundry suddenly out in the open, the school explodes

in chaos, and the whispers accusing Iyanu of being the one behind

it all start to feel like déjà vu.

Each girl is desperate to unravel the mystery of who stole the

photos and why. But exposing the truth will change them all forever.
