Publisher's Summary
A darkly compelling coming-of-age story, perfect for fans of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History or Liane Moriarty’s Big Little Lies
It is the fall of 1995 at Rocky Barrens University, hidden amidst the pine trees and starry skies of Northern Ontario. Aurelle Taylor, daughter of a world-famous fashion designer, becomes the closest friend of burgeoning painter Diana Martin; they have bonded over a mutual desire to escape their wealthy families and personal tragedies and begin new lives as students at RBU.
They are closer than lovers, they are like one thing, intoxicated by their own bond, falling into the hedonistic seduction of the woods and the water at a university that is more summer camp than campus. Diana, who has lived her life under the shadow of her sadistic older brother, rockets to fame with a series of scandalous portraits of Aurelle, whose response is to tumble further into a drug-fueled escapism. Diana must choose whether to rescue her kindred spirit from destruction, or to abandon Aurelle for the fame she has forever thirsted after.
The lines between love, envy, and obsession blur in Laurie Petrou’s utterly enthralling, unceasingly tense second novel.

Slow start, almost 1/2 before I found it engaging.
well narrated, very slow story line. But it did eventually turn around. if it wasn't a book club read I probably would have given up TBH

Great “read”. Intriguing story and characters
This is my second book by the author (Sister of Mine). In both cases the author creates an experience where I’m enthralled from the beginning to end. The descriptions of people, places and events have the perfect amount of detail - in Stephen King fashion there is so much detail I feel I’m looking at the exact situation that others would experience, but unlike King it stops short of the multiple pages of nuance and allows the reader to fill in gaps to make it their own.
