Description

Ella Crawford's life is marked by loneliness and desperation. She finds herself in precarious situations, often seducing men who can provide her with dinner. However, everything changes when she begins working as a nanny for Lonnie, a wealthy mother of 26. Lonnie's life appears to be the opposite of Ella's - she has a doting husband, son, and artistic talent, all while enjoying old family money. Yet, beneath the surface, Ella is drawn to Lonnie's carefree nature and disregard for social boundaries. As their relationship deepens, so does Ella's resentment, alongside an intense attraction. This psychological thriller explores themes of class, aspiration, female friendship, sexuality, and obsession, making for a crackling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
