Clare brings a secret to the University of Edinburgh. She has the opportunity to start over, to meet the right people, and to reinvent herself. She then encounters Tabitha. Tabitha is charming, stunning, and obscenely wealthy. Clare soon finds herself drawn into her mysterious group of pals' bewildering world of champagne on rooftops and summers in France. She has started a new life. The small project they are working on, which requires Clare's assistance, is then revealed by Tabitha. It's reckless, perhaps dangerous, and it just could help Clare become the person she was meant to be.But how much is an extraordinary life worth if others have to pay? An intoxicating feminist page-turner with shades of The Secret History and Promising Young Woman, this novel will take you on a journey from Edinburgh's dazzling spires to the dripping staircases and dark alleyways of its underbelly.
