 Amber Patterson is fed up. She’s tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more—a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted. To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne—a socialite and philanthropist—and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale. Amber’s envy could eat her alive . . . if she didn't have a plan. Amber uses Daphne’s compassion and caring to insinuate herself into the family’s life—the first step in a meticulous scheme to undermine her. Before long, Amber is Daphne’s closest confidante, traveling to Europe with the Parrishes and their lovely young daughters, and growing closer to Jackson. But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked towards, and if it is discovered, her well-laid plan may fall to pieces.   Four years ago, I lied. I stood in front of the police, my friends and family, and made up a story, my best one yet. And all of them believed me. I wasn't surprised. Telling stories is what made me famous. Fifteen bestsellers. Millions of fans. Fame and fortune. Now, I have one last story to write. It'll be my best one yet, with a jaw-dropping twist that will leave them stunned and gasping for breath. They say that sticks and stones will break your bones, but this story? It will be the one that kills me.   Aza Holmes has an irrational fear of microbes. She constantly opens a callous on her finger to disinfect it and prevent microbes from taking over. She and her friend Daisy go out seeking for a missing billionaire who is wanted for fraud. She ends up liking the billionaire’s son but she can’t kiss him because she fears getting infected with microbes. She soon finds out that her friend is not too happy about their friendship. How will she deal with her boyfriend and best friend when her mind seems to be swirling with so many thoughts? Author of bestselling young adult novel The Fault in Our Stars, John Green once more captivates with his young, quirky and witty characters with this latest novel. The Guardian thinks it is the “next modern classic.”  |
