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 enjoys a level of adoration that even upper-class Black families struggle to provide, 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 into the Whitman family, her own parents express concern about the household’s dynamics. Strange occurrences begin at the Whitman home—debilitating illnesses, unsettling fever dreams, tension with Cherish’s volatile boyfriend, and a mysterious journal documenting Farrah’s experiences. Though she believes she can handle it, everything unravels as the Whitmans draw her in closer, blurring the lines of control. Told in Farrah’s chilling voice, this slow-burn social horror weaves in sharp commentary on race and class, keeping readers on edge until the final page.
