"Seductive and slick, They Wish They Were Us is a searing novel
about power, privilege, and the dangerous pursuit of perfection."
--Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of The Luckiest
Girl Alive
Gossip Girl meets One of Us Is Lying with a dash of The Secret
History in this taut murder mystery set against the backdrop of an
exclusive prep school on Long Island.
In Gold Coast, Long Island, everything from the expensive downtown shops
to the manicured beaches, to the pressed uniforms of Jill Newman and her
friends, looks perfect. But as Jill found out three years ago, nothing
is as it seems.
Freshman year Jill's best friend, the brilliant, dazzling Shaila Arnold,
was killed by her boyfriend. After that dark night on the beach, Graham
confessed, the case was closed, and Jill tried to move on.
Now, it's Jill's senior year and she's determined to make it her best
yet. After all, she's a senior and a Player-a member of Gold Coast
Prep's exclusive, not-so-secret secret society. Senior Players have the
best parties, highest grades and the admiration of the entire school.
This is going to be Jill's year. She's sure of it.
But when Jill starts getting texts proclaiming Graham's innocence, her
dreams of the perfect senior year start to crumble. If Graham didn't
kill Shaila, who did? Jill vows to find out, but digging deeper could
mean putting her friendships, and her future, in jeopardy.
