The Finishing School by Joanna Goodman FIC Goo

I always enjoy books that are centered around a school.  It means there will be lots of secrets and stories of friendships - both good and bad. Kersti went to an elite boarding school in Switzerland on a scholarship.  It could have been very difficult for her except for her roommate, Cressida, who was rich and a bit wild.  Shortly before their graduation Cressida went over a balcony that was 4 floors up.  According to the school it was an accident.  Twenty-one years later Cressida is living back in the States with her mother in a vegetative state.

Kersti has grown up to be a successful writer, a wife and a woman who desperately wants a baby. One day she receives a package from the mother of one of her boarding school friends, Lille.  It contains a letter to Kersti that was unfinished.  Lille died from cancer and her mother had just gotten around to looking at her computer.  Lille believes that Cressida's death was no accident.

Soon Kersti is involved in looking for answers which leads her back to the school where it all began.  An interesting read!
