Mehr zum Buch

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 an adoration that even upper-class Black parents struggle to provide, creating a dissonance 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 concerns about the household. Farrah might trust them—if they didn’t think something was wrong with her, too. Strange occurrences at the Whitman home—debilitating illnesses, unsettling fever dreams, tension with Cherish’s volatile boyfriend, and a mysterious journal chronicling Farrah’s experiences—begin to surface. Although she believes she can handle it, everything unravels as the Whitmans draw her in closer, leaving the question of who is truly in control. Told in Farrah’s chilling voice and infused with sharp commentary on race and class, this slow-burn social horror keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the final page.
