Nothing is what it seems in this gripping psychological drama. For five high school leavers the prospect of a long summer ahead means they have time to fill, so they are excited to get an unexpected invitation to spend a couple of weeks at a villa belonging to a celeb. All their expenses will be paid and they'll live in luxury. They should smell trouble but they don't, and they find themselves the captives of a powerful puppet master. Drugs, dreams and a dawning awareness of their predicament force them to rethink who they are, review their friendship, and decide what they want from life. Perfect for fans of Sally Rooney and David Mitchell this Page Turner Finalist will draw you in and refuse to let you go. "A fascinating look at the behaviour of young people, this is a story that grips the reader until the very end." The New Review of Books
