An enthralling debut set in contemporary New York about a woman with nothing who befriends a woman with everything, and decides that she'd like her life. Louise is struggling to survive in New York; juggling a series of poorly paid jobs, renting a shabby flat, being catcalled by her creepy neighbour, she dreams of being a writer. And then one day she meets Lavinia. Lavinia who has everything - looks, money, clothes, friends, an amazing apartment. Lavinia invites Louise into her charmed circle, takes her to the best underground speakeasies, the opera, shares her clothes, her drugs, her Uber account. Louise knows that this can't last for ever, but just how far is she prepared to go to have this life? Or rather, to have Lavinia's life? "[A] spectacularly impressive debut . A ridiculously assured first novel, told in an utterly original voice." OBSERVER
