Synopsis

“A deliciously twisted love story that sneakily upends your expectations at every turn; a candy apple with a razor blade hidden inside.”
—Graham Moore, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of The Imitation Game

A ghostwriting gig in the Hamptons becomes far more than a job in this sexy, atmospheric, and deliciously tense story.

Reeling from her father’s death, Zara Pines accepts a ghostwriting gig for celebrity chef Jane Bailey. Jane, star of the wildly popular cooking show 30 Bucks Tops, insists that Zara spend the summer with her in her East Hampton home.

As the two women create Jane’s book, their attachment grows stronger. Zara, who’s lost and searching for an identity, finds one in the shadow of Jane. She starts wearing Jane’s clothes, speaking like her, and adopting her mannerisms. Eventually, the line between the ghostwriter and the subject blurs, and Zara starts to see the side Jane keeps hidden from the cameras.

This dark and twisty novel about fame, lies, and obsession will make even the most openhearted reader question how safe it is to trust the people they admire.

Goodreads review by casey on October 29, 2024

This does not read like a thriller at all. Zero tension or suspense, I’m shocked this got described as atmospheric in the blurb considering there is… zero atmosphere?

Goodreads review by Johann (jobis89) on February 28, 2024

I don’t normally go for thrillers but loved this cover and was intrigued by the premise. It’s about a ghostwriter called Zara who goes to live with her celebrity client in her mansion in East Hampton while compiling the information for her book. Things are obviously not as bright and sun-soaked as t......more

Goodreads review by Shannon on May 23, 2024

3.5 rounded up A twisted Sapphic love story set in LA between a successful food celebrity with a dark side and the young impressionable lesbian who falls for her. This starts off seeming like a romance and quickly descends into a thriller with shocks I didn't see coming. Not at all what I was expecti......more

Goodreads review by Natasha on June 22, 2024

There’s nothing thrilling about this thriller. It’s just aggravating. Both FMCs are unlikeable. One because villain. And the other because dumb. If you like books where the ENTIRE plot is manipulation and gaslighting, have at it. But this just made me mad - the contradiction of a seemingly intellige......more
