Description
In a summer that begins like a dare and turns into a reckoning, a young woman finds herself pulled into a world of privilege, performance, and quiet cruelty—only to discover that the rules she’s been taught to follow are designed to protect someone else. As she navigates shifting loyalties and escalating consequences, her choices force her to confront what “wealth” really means: not just money, but power, access, and the stories people tell to justify harm. With sharp wit and a razor-edged sense of social observation, this novel blends dark humor with coming-of-age intensity to explore class, complicity, and the hunger for both belonging and justice. Maika Moulite’s distinctive voice turns everyday moments into pointed commentary, making the book feel as urgent as it is entertaining.
