Synopsis

The Great Gatsby meets Looking for Alaska in this stunning debut from Chelsey Philpot. With inspiration drawn from Evelyn Waugh’s Brideshead Revisited, this novel perfectly captures the love and heartbreak that can change us most.

When Julia Buchanan enrolls at St. Anne’s at the beginning of junior year, Charlotte Ryder already knows all about her. Most people do . . . or think they do. But as Charlotte is pulled into the larger-than-life new girl’s world—a world of midnight rendezvous, dazzling parties, palatial vacation homes, and fizzy champagne cocktails—she realizes that behind Julia’s self-assured smiles and toasts to the future, she is still suffering from a tragedy. A tragedy that the Buchanan family has kept hidden . . . until now.

• Intense Female Friendship: Charlotte thinks she knows all about the infamous Julia Buchanan, but being pulled into her orbit of dazzling parties and midnight secrets is more intoxicating—and dangerous—than she ever imagined.
• A Dark Family Secret: Behind the champagne cocktails and smiles, Julia is haunted by a tragedy the Buchanan family will do anything to keep hidden.
• An Unforgettable First Love: Navigating the unspoken rules of the wealthy elite is one thing, but falling for a Buchanan is another challenge entirely.
• Lyrical Coming of Age: Perfect for fans of The Great Gatsby and Looking for Alaska, this story captures the dizzying highs and devastating heartbreaks of the friendships that define us.
