Waterstones Says

Perfect reading for all fans of The Secret History and If We Were Villains, Darwent's deliciously nasty debut is a jet-black slice of dark academia revolving around a toxic friendship at Edinburgh University.

'In there, them, us, it’s everything you’ve ever wanted, and you’re going to love it.
I promise. I’ll look after you.'

All her life Clare has never fit in.

So when she arrives at Edinburgh University, she seizes the chance to reinvent herself.

Then she meets Tabitha who is everything she’s not: charismatic, dazzling and intimidatingly wealthy.

Soon Clare is sucked into Tabitha’s enigmatic circle of friends, and it’s all she hoped it would be. Until it’s not.

Because they are not all they seem.

And they’ve been waiting for Clare.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

An intoxicating feminist page-turner with shades of The Secret History and Promising Young Woman, this novel will take youon a journey from Edinburgh's dazzling spires to the dripping staircases and dark alleyways of its underbelly.
