Description
Ivy Lin has spent her life learning how to blend in—first as the daughter of Chinese immigrants, then as an accomplished student determined to escape the limitations of her upbringing. When she reconnects with Gideon, a privileged former classmate, Ivy sees an opportunity to enter the polished world she has always desired, but her carefully constructed identity is threatened by the return of an old friend and the secrets of her past. Set among Boston’s elite, this sharp psychological novel explores ambition, class, cultural identity, desire, and the dangerous lengths people may go to reinvent themselves. With its morally complex heroine and compelling examination of privilege and belonging, it offers a haunting portrait of the American dream turned inward.
