Clare arrives at the University of Edinburgh with a secret. This is her chance for a blank slate: to find the right people and reinvent herself. And then she meets Tabitha. Tabitha is charismatic, beautiful and intimidatingly wealthy. Soon Clare is sucked into her enigmatic circle of friends and their dizzying world of champagne on rooftops and summers in France. Her new life has begun. Then Tabitha reveals the little project they`re working on, a project they need Clare`s help with. It`s reckless, possibly perilous and might finally allow Clare to become who she was meant to be... But how much is an extraordinary life worth if others have to pay? An intoxicating feminist page-turner with shades of The Secret History and Promising Young Woman, this novel will take you on a journey from Edinburgh`s dazzling spires to the dripping staircases and dark alleyways of its underbelly.
