the Group Chat: Book 1 of Read Receipts Series

ONE MESSAGE CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING. Five friends. One group chat. And a secret that was never meant to leave the screen. At St. Jude's Academy, Zara is the undisputed queen. She controls the narrative, she controls the social hierarchy, and most importantly, she controls The Inner Circle - the exclusive group chat where reputations are made and destroyed. In the group chat, the rules are simple: -Don't ignore. -Don't question. -Don't tell anyone. >But when a voice note is accidentally sent to the wrong chat, the fragile peace shatters. What starts as harmless gossip turns into a vicious, orchestrated campaign of digital destruction. Rumours spread. Friendships crack. Trust is broken. When Marcus, the new boy, becomes the target of a devastating deep fake, Priya and Jade are forced to make a choice: stay silent and protect their own status, or risk everything to expose the truth. >Who sent the message? Who's lying? And who will be the next target? >EVERYONE HAS A SECRET. NOT EVERYONE SURVIVES SHARING IT.
