Summary
Nina una vez creyó en la idea de que su elegante título en artes liberales la llevaría a una carrera satisfactoria. Cuando ese sueño se vino abajo, se dedicó a robar a los niños ricos de Los Ángeles junto a su astuto novio irlandés, Lachlan. Nina aprendió de los mejores: su madre era la estafadora original, que se esforzaba por darle a su hija una infancia decente a pesar de su vida descarriada. Pero cuando su madre se enferma, Nina arriesga todo para ayudarla, incluso si eso significa ejecutar su estafa más audaz y peligrosa hasta el momento. Vanessa es una joven heredera privilegiada que quería dejar su huella en el mundo. En cambio, se convierte en una influencer de Instagram: viaja por el mundo, recibe ropa y productos gratis y posa para fotografías en lugares exóticos. Pero detrás de la codiciada fachada hay una vida marcada por la tragedia. Después de un compromiso roto, Vanessa se retira a la extensa finca de montaña de su familia, Stonehaven: una mansión de oscuros secretos no solo del pasado de Vanessa, sino también del de una niña perdida y con problemas llamada Nina. Los caminos de Nina, Vanessa y Lachlan se cruzan aquí, en las frías orillas del lago Tahoe, donde sus vidas entrelazadas dan paso a un invierno de aspiraciones y deseos, duplicidad y venganza. Esta deslumbrante, retorcida y fascinante novela muestra a la aclamada autora Janelle Brown en su mejor momento, ya que dos mujeres brillantes y dañadas intentan sobrevivir al mayor juego de engaño y destrucción que jamás jugarán. Nina once bought into the idea that her fancy liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling career.
