Sisters Alex and Thea struggle to manage new identities in the wake of their mother's remarriage to a wealthy man, and their new life of privilege brings out the worst in both of them. This is a dark, gritty story of class disparity, sibling rivalry, and the limitations of familial loyalty; Griffin's stark prose will leave readers feeling deliciously unsettled.
