"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.
