Monique | 2 comments I read this book when I was around 12-13 years old in 1998. It was a paperback, had a blue cover with yellow lettering, if I recall correctly.

The teens were prepping for their SAT's I believe, and there's even a mention of how one of them remembers Pennsylvania has 2 nn's. One of the kids was called Brian, and was a popular guy.

The details get fuzzy for me here, however, I believe Brian and his girlfriend go out for a late night boat ride on the lake and one of them drowns, and this starts a weird turn of events.

Would love to find this book!

Monique, how far into the book does the drowning occur? Is this a spoiler?

Kat (tadpoledrain) | 532 comments If the book is Crash Course, which is what I came here to suggest too, I don't think the drowning is necessarily what I would consider a spoiler? It happens a little ways into the book, but it's the mystery that the rest of the book is spent solving. And the blurb for the book mentions a murder.

There's also a line about making wanton love in a bowl of wonton soup, to help them remember the definition of the word wanton, if that rings any bells.
