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.
