Coming from a modest background she finds she feels no different at Elle, she still doesn’t fit in with the trust fund kids. Determined to make the most of every opportunity she volunteers to help the magnetic Cat Wolff with a writing project on her days off. Slowly Lora finds herself drawn in to Cat, totally dependent and isolated from her family. Any doubts Lora has she quickly tamps down. What choice does she have if she wants to be a writer? I throughly enjoyed this inventive book told through a series of diary entries, texts messages, and news articles. The cast of characters is wide but deep, keeping me on my toes wondering how everyone fit together. Rigetti’s writing is whip-smart, sharp, and nuanced. Characters are flawed and multifaceted. While there should be good and bad guys here she offers up many shades of gray. It comes together in one of the most twisty ‘I did NOT see that coming’ endings I’ve experienced in a long time. My strongest suggestion is to go in with as little information as possible, avoiding spoilers. I recommend for your summer reading, buddy reads, and book clubs. There’s so much to unpack and discuss here!! (  ) FlowerchildReads | Mar 25, 2022 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Catch Me If You Can meets Sweetbitter in this debut novel about an ambitious young woman who gets caught up in a charismatic con artist's scam. It's grifter season in New York City and no one is safe. After a rough year at NYU, aspiring writer Lora Ricci is thrilled to land a summer internship at ELLE magazine where she meets Cat Wolff, contributing editor and enigmatic daughter of a clean-energy mogul. Cat takes Lora under her wing, soliciting her help with side projects and encouraging her writing. As a friendship emerges between the two women, Lora opens up to Cat about her desperate struggles and lost scholarship. Cat's solution: Drop out of NYU and become her ghostwriter. Lora agrees and, when the internship ends, she moves into Cat's suite at the opulent Plaza Hotel. Writing during the day and accompanying Cat to extravagant parties at night, Lora's life quickly shifts from looming nightmare to dream-come-true. But as Lora is drawn into Cat's glamorous lifestyle, Cat's perfect exterior cracks, exposing an illicit, shady world. A whip-smart and delightfully inventive writer, Susan Rigetti brilliantly pieces together a perceptive, humorous caper full of sharp observations about scam culture. Composed of diary entries, emails, FBI correspondence, and more, Cover Story is a fresh, fun, and wholly original novel that takes readers deep into the codependency and deceit found in a relationship built on power imbalance and lies.
