Description

A heady mix of “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Gone Girl,” with sharp notes of “Cruella” from the fashion editor of The Times. For more than ten years she wrote for outlets like Vogue, the Financial Times, and The Guardian. She took your place—for a while. But what if it’s forever?

Everyone envies Margo Jones. A brilliant career at a glamorous magazine, a loving husband, a wonderful home, a refined wardrobe—and now, at last, the long-awaited first child. Who wouldn’t dream of being in her shoes? So for journalist Maggie Biecher, the maternity position in Margo’s place is a chance to change her life. She doesn’t seem to be trying to compete with the magnificent Margo Jones—she understands she’s nothing more than a temporary replacement. But are Maggie’s motives really that innocent? And what happens when Margo wants her old life back? Maggie Biecher doesn’t give anything away for free…

This is a gripping thriller about how quickly a successful life can go off the rails when you lose confidence in yourself, give in to fears and self-doubt. About female friendship and hatred. About the troubles of pregnancy and motherhood. And, of course, about the power of social networks to distort our perception of reality, ruin our lives, and destroy relationships with loved ones…
