Seventeen year-old Farrah Turner is one of two Black girls in her country club community, and the only one with Black parents. Her best friend, Cherish Whitman, adopted by a wealthy white family, is something Farrah likes to call WGS—White Girl Spoiled. 

Cherish is given everything about her parents Brianne and Jerry Whitman. 

Farrah’s family is unexpectedly confronted with foreclosure. Farrah does not like change and always likes to be in control. Farrah is s determined to keep the life she deserves.

Farrah manipulates her way further into the Whitmans’ lives and home, her efforts revolve around her best friend, Cherish, the only person she loves, even when she hates her. 

As Farrah starys with the Whitman's she starts to notice stranges things going on with the Whitman's and in their house. 

Farrah starts to suspect their motivations and they might be even more dangerous than her own. 

This book didn't work for me at all.

The book was quite slow to start off but I carried on reading as I wanted to know where the book was heading but in the end the book didn't quite might sense to me and was confusing at times with what the story was meant to be about. Also I couldn't work out what the characters actually motivations were and what was actual real in the book. 

I was quite disappointed as what I read from the blurb the book as was expecting a quite tense thriller but in the end the book to me couldn't quite decide what the story actually wanted to be and nothing was actually really resolved at the end. 

This book just wasn't for me but other readers may enjoy. 

I received a ARC from Edelweiss and the publisher for an objection.
