The book is about a girl with a very controlling boyfriend. He gets jealous if she even looks at another boy. Her mother had a mental break down and she doesn’t know why. She goes to the local pond/lake to ice skate. There she meets a boy she has never seen before. She begins seeing him everywhere. And slips into these trances where she sees visions of him. At one point she realizes he is a ghost because she sees him frozen under the ice at the lake. It turns out he is her uncle. He was murdered trying to protect her mother from her own extremely controlling boyfriend. Who is the uncle of the MCs boyfriend. The bfs uncle was blackmailing the mcs parents because only four people knew the truth and one was dead. He still wanted mcs mom. I think he gave a twisted version of what happened to the bf of mc. I know mc cut her finger on a staple in an old year book she was looking through for something i think school related. And comes across his photo causing a vision of him under the ice with blood. It was a young adult book. I read it early 2000s. Maybe 01 or 02. I would love to read it again.
