HUSTLERS meets BIG LITTLE LIES in the thrilling new novel about women breaking bad that everyone will be talking about in Summer 2022... Meet Ava: rule-abiding lawyer who has ticked all of life's boxes. She's married to a successful surgeon and has just taken an indefinite career break to raise her adorable toddler. A picture-perfect life. Meet Winnie: Ava's old college roommate. Once awkward, quiet and apparently academically challenged, she left Stanford in a shroud of scandal. But now, she is charismatic, wealthy and has returned to town dripping in designer accessories. An actual perfect life. When the two women bump into one another at a local coffee shop, it seems like fate has intervened: Winnie's new-found success is courtesy of a shady business and she needs a favour; Ava is realising she is not built for the stay-at-home life. But what starts as one favour turns into two, then three, and soon Ava is in far deeper than she ever imagined. Now Ava has to make the ultimate decision: cut and run, or risk it all?

Kirstin Chen Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)
Kirstin Chen creëert verhalen die de complexiteit van identiteit en de echo's van het verleden onderzoeken, vaak met personages die worstelen met hun afkomst en hun plaats in de wereld. Haar schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door scherpe inzichten in de menselijke psychologie en meeslepende verhalen. Chen gebruikt rijke proza en een zorgvuldig opgebouwde sfeer om lezers onder te dompelen in verhalen die nog lang na de laatste pagina bijblijven. Haar romans bieden een treffende analyse van maatschappelijke verwachtingen en persoonlijke keuzes, wat resulteert in werken van diepe nuance en diepgang.
