Overview
A brand-new thriller from bestselling author Natalie Barelli! A young woman agrees to pose as her coworker's girlfriend for Thanksgiving dinner—but by the end of the night, she's found the family she's always wanted…and she's not ready to leave.
Nora is quiet, awkward, lonely—a bookstore clerk who desperately wants connection and belonging. So, when her coworker, Josh, asks her to pretend to be his girlfriend for Thanksgiving to get his mother off his back for a while, it feels harmless. Even sweet. Of course, Nora says yes. She'd be happy to help.
But from the very beginning, there's something just slightly…off…about Nora.
For one thing, she's obsessed with dollhouses. And if Josh had seen her collection before he invited her over, he might have reconsidered. Because Nora doesn't simply like miniatures. She likes creating the perfect family.
And soon after she arrives at Josh's house, she becomes a little too invested in his family. What started as fake dating quickly turns into something much darker and deeply uncomfortable—and Josh and his family learn a moment too late that inviting Nora into their home may have been the biggest mistake they've ever made…
