À propos de cet audio

New York Times Best Seller

Who’s really following you on social media? The scam of a lifetime brings together two wildly different women in this page-turning thriller about greed, legacy, and betrayal from the New York Times bestselling author of Watch Me Disappear.

An ID Book Club Selection • “It’s Dynasty meets Patricia Highsmith.” (The Washington Post)

Nina once bought into the idea that her fancy liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling career. When that dream crashed, she turned to stealing from rich kids in LA alongside her wily Irish boyfriend, Lachlan. Nina learned from the best: Her mother was the original con artist, hustling to give her daughter a decent childhood despite their wayward life. But when her mom gets sick, Nina puts everything on the line to help her, even if it means running her most audacious, dangerous scam yet.

Vanessa is a privileged young heiress who wanted to make her mark in the world. Instead she becomes an Instagram influencer - traveling the globe, receiving free clothes and products, and posing for pictures in exotic locales. But behind the covetable façade is a life marked by tragedy. After a broken engagement, Vanessa retreats to her family’s sprawling mountain estate, Stonehaven: a mansion of dark secrets not just from Vanessa’s past, but from that of a lost and troubled girl named Nina.

Nina’s, Vanessa’s, and Lachlan’s paths collide here, on the cold shores of Lake Tahoe, where their intertwined lives give way to a winter of aspiration and desire, duplicity and revenge.

This dazzling, twisty, mesmerizing novel showcases acclaimed author Janelle Brown at her best, as two brilliant, damaged women try to survive the greatest game of deceit and destruction they will ever play.

Great story. Usually I listen to books before bed, but I found myself also listening to this in the car and around the house. There were a couple of parts of the story that I didn’t think fitted the characters. For example, I think Nina would have kept up to date on Vanessa’s social platforms.

Great story

First time listening to this author and I am happy I choose this book!
The story started off super good, it kept me interested and there were great character building. Although I feel that somewhere in the middle of the story, I had to force myself to keep listening as the story got a bit dull and lost in the character building.
However, it picked up again and It took me by complete surprise!
This book is most definitely worth the credit!!
I'm now ready to begin another book by this author.

UNEXPECTED!!

First time I have read this author

The story is creative and thoughtful, and the women characters are complex and interesting, despite the genre often being trite, sexist, and basic. The very ending is by no means surprising (although the climax is) but that's not a fall back of the book somehow, the writing, narrative and character development is what's catching, and the alternating narrators are also great. Highly recommend 👌🏽

Surprisingly great
