Book Synopsis
Seductive and slick, They Wish They Were Us is a searing novel about power, privilege, and the dangerous pursuit of perfection.
—Jessica Knoll, New York Times bestselling author of The Luckiest Girl Alive

Gossip Girl meets One of Us Is Lying with a dash of The Secret History in this taut murder mystery set against the backdrop of an exclusive prep school on Long Island.

In Gold Coast, Long Island, everything from the expensive downtown shops to the manicured beaches, to the pressed uniforms of Jill Newman and her friends, looks perfect. But as Jill found out three years ago, nothing is as it seems.

Freshman year Jill’s best friend, the brilliant, dazzling Shaila Arnold, was killed by her boyfriend. After that dark night on the beach, Graham confessed, the case was closed, and Jill tried to move on.

Now, it’s Jill’s senior year and she’s determined to make it her best yet.
