AN APRIL 2022 BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK
āMorrow uses her heroineās warped perspective to examine painful truths about race and class in America, but this isnāt a book intended to teach anyone a lesson, except maybe: Be careful. You never know whoās really in control.āāLos Angeles Times
From bestselling author Bethany C. Morrow comes a new adult social horror novel in the vein of Get Out meets My Sister, the Serial Killer, about Farrah, a young, calculating Black girl who manipulates her way into the lives of her Black best friendās white, wealthy, adoptive family but soon suspects she may not be the only one with ulterior motives. . . .
Seventeen-year-old Farrah Turner is one of two Black girls in her country club community, and the only one with Black parents. Her best friend, Cherish Whitman, adopted by a white, wealthy family, is something Farrah likes to call WGSāWhite Girl Spoiled. With Brianne and Jerry Whitman as parents, Cherish is given the kind of adoration and coddling that even upper-class Black parents canāt seem to affordāand it creates a dissonance in her best friend that Farrah can exploit. When her own family is unexpectedly confronted with foreclosure, the calculating Farrah is determined to reassert the control sheās convinced sheās always had over her life by staying with Cherish, the only person she lovesāeven when she hates her.
As troubled Farrah manipulates her way further into the Whitman family, the longer she stays, the more her own parents suggest that something is wrong in the Whitman house. She might trust themāif they didnāt think something was wrong with Farrah, too. When strange things start happening at the Whitman householdādebilitating illnesses, upsetting fever dreams, an inexplicable tension with Cherishās hotheaded boyfriend, and a mysterious journal that seems to keep track of what is happening to Farrahāitās nothing she canāt handle. But soon everything begins to unravel when the Whitmans invite Farrah closer, and itās anyoneās guess who is really in control.
Told in Farrahās chilling, unforgettable voice and weaving in searing commentary on race and class, this slow-burn social horror will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page.
