Everything You Want Me To Be by Mindy Mejia

Hattie Hoffman is a talented actress, playing the part of the good girl, the good student, and the good daughter. But Hattie is tired of playing a part. She wants something more, something real. When she’s found brutally stabbed to death, the local sheriff is tasked with piecing together the real Hattie from the fragments she left behind. Told from three perspectives—Hattie in the months leading up to her death, the sheriff, and the school English teacher—the story reveals a tangled web of secrets and lies. Hattie was a master of becoming exactly what people wanted her to be. But her final, tragic performance reveals a truth that no one saw coming.
