So schöne Lügen

Even in a city where seemingly everything is possible, you have to be able to afford your happiness: Louise is in her late twenties and trying to get by in New York. She actually wanted to become a writer - now she lives in Brooklyn, has several low-paying jobs and is plagued by self-doubt. One day she meets Lavinia. And she really has it all: she lives on the Upper East Side, is wild, free and beautiful. But above all, she's rich. She likes to share her glamorous life - on all social networks, but also with Louise. The two disparate women become friends. Louise is passed around at parties, gets dressed by Lavinia, moves in with her - she falls for Lavinia and her world. Even though she doesn't have the money to exist in it. At some point she begins to steal from her friend. And to free herself from her impotence, she will go much further. Must Lavinia die so that Louise can live? Tara Isabella Burton tells of a toxic friendship and the power of social abysses: a novel about a world of vanity and superficiality as intense as it is suspenseful, fast-paced, smart, and distinctive. "A stunning, perfidious thriller, including murder, manslaughter, greed, manipulation, and madness. Definitely a must read!" RTL.DE.
