En savoir plus sur le livre

Seventeen-year-old Farrah Turner is one of two black girls in her country club community, the only one with black parents. Her best friend, Cherish Whitman, adopted by a wealthy white family, embodies what Farrah calls WGS - White Girl Spoiled. Cherish receives a level of adoration that even upper-class black parents can't match, creating a dissonance that Farrah exploits. When her family faces foreclosure, Farrah seeks control over her life by staying with Cherish, the only person she loves, despite her conflicting feelings. As she manipulates her way deeper into the Whitman family, her parents express concern about the household's dynamics. Farrah might trust their instincts if they didn’t also suspect something is wrong with her. Strange occurrences begin at the Whitman home—debilitating illnesses, fever dreams, tension with Cherish's volatile boyfriend, and a mysterious journal chronicling Farrah's experiences. Initially, she believes she can handle it all, but as the Whitmans draw her in, the lines of control blur. Narrated in Farrah's chilling voice, this slow-burn social horror offers sharp commentary on race and class, keeping readers on edge until the very last page.
