Elizabeth Flynn, author of The Girls Are All So Nice Here How far
would you go to belong? Maya has returned to Princeton for her
college reunion--it's been a decade since she graduated, and she is
looking forward to seeing old faces and reminiscing about her time
there. This visit is special because Maya will also be attending
the graduation of her little sister, Naomi. But what should have
been a dream weekend becomes Maya's worst nightmare when she
receives the news that Naomi is dead. The police are calling it an
accident, but Maya suspects that there is more to the story than
they are letting on. As Maya pieces together what happened in the
months leading up to her sister's death, she begins to realize how
much Naomi hid from her. Despite Maya's warnings, Naomi had joined
Sterling Club, the most exclusive social club on campus--the same
one Maya belonged to. And if she had to guess, Naomi was likely
tapped for the secret society within it. The more Maya uncovers,
the more terrified she becomes that Naomi's decision to follow in
her footsteps might have been what got her killed. Because Maya's
time at Princeton wasn't as wonderful as she'd always made it
seem--after all, her sister wasn't the first young woman to turn up
dead. Now every clue is leading Maya back to the past . . . and to
the secret she's kept all these years.
Mladá psychologička Emerie sa práve udomácňuje vo svojej
novoprenajatej newyorskej kancelárii, keď ju prepadne akýsi chlap.
Emerie ho považuje za vlamača, no vysvitne, že tým nepozvaným
hosťom je v skutočnosti ona. Nóbl kancelária patrí právnikovi
Drewovi Jaggerovi, a kým dovolenkoval na Havaji, jeho priestory
prenajal Emerie nejaký falošný realitný agent. Na druhý deň, po
výsluchu na policajnej stanici, sa Drew nad ryšavkou zľutuje a dá
jej ponuku, ktorá sa v jej zlej finančnej situácii neodmieta – môže
zostať v jeho kancelárii, kým si nenájde iné miesto, výmenou za
pomoc pri dvíhaní telefónov. Emerie by mala byť vďačná a držať
jazyk za zubami, lenže keď počuje, aké rady rozdáva tento rozvodový
právnik klientom, ide ju roztrhať. Emerie je totiž manželská
poradkyňa a vzťahy napráva, nie rozvracia. Lenže Drew je nafúkaný,
arogantný, samoľúby chlap, nadšený sám zo seba, a tak sa napätie
medzi nimi stupňuje. Bože, keby aspoň nebol taký príťažlivý! Z
anglického originálu Egomaniac (EverAfter Romance, New York 2017)
