pickMac is from a struggling family and has a sister with significant neurodivergence. She is flabbergasted when the beautiful, wealthy Gwen takes an interest in her and eventually follows Gwen to graduate school to The Program. We see them across the years and know something terrible happened. Really suspenseful book that I enjoyed. There‘s a reveal at the end that I didn‘t entirely buy, but it didn‘t hurt the read.
pick3.5 🌟This was a decent page turner and I liked it overall. The jumps back and forth in time were fun and kept me engaged because it constantly kept me wanting to know more. And while I do enjoy a story about female friendships, when the story became more and more about the girls‘ relationships with the professors at their school, my interest waned.I thought the story was at its strongest when exploring the push and pull between Mac and Gwen.
pickA smart mystery thriller of economic class, ambition, personality, and to what lengths a person will go to fight, and keep, their hard-won position in life.
