People like us dana mele5/22/2023 The girls in this inner circle are poised for graduation, scholarships, careers, and the lives they’ve dreamed of. Protagonist Kay Donavon is in her graduating year and has struggled from a working-class background and a personally tormented past to climb to the exulted level of “it” girl, the fear-inspiring top clique at Bates. Set in Bates College, an all-girls boarding school nestled in the woods of New England, Mele’s novel smartly mixes mystery with a coming-of-age story that hits all the uncomfortable buttons. On this particular New England evening the water is chilly, but when one of the swimmers bumps into a dead body floating in the lake, it turns ice cold. A group of laughing teenage girls peel off their clothes and streak through the woods to a nearby lake for their annual midnight swim. Dana Mele’s first novel, People Like Us, begins at midnight on Halloween.
