Book Synopsis
"Our new favorite thriller." - COSMOPOLITAN
A glitzy YA thriller set in New York City elite social circles, filled with backstabbing and blackmail, twisty secrets, and a dead body, from New York Times bestselling author of They Wish They Were Us.
At Excelsior Prep, the Legacy Ball isn't just a fancy party--it's a formal welcome to the ultra-exclusive Legacy Club, a vast social network of NYC's wealthiest. For Bernie and her boyfriend Skyler, it's a given they're in. Isobel, forever in Bernie's shadow, is destined for membership too. But then there's the surprise invite: Tori, the scholarship kid from Queens.
The night meant to usher these teens into the ranks of the elite is filled with endless luxe and plenty of hushed gossip. No one expects their secrets to come out. Or for someone to die trying to keep them hidden.
"Biting class commentary interspersed among its tale of murder and teens behaving badly."-PASTE Magazine
