Bittersweet

`An engrossing summer blast' MAGGIE SHIPSTEAD, bestselling author of Seating Arrangements

`A modern and sophisticated thriller... a tale encompassing love, murder and incest that makes for an enthralling, if hard to swallow, story' STYLIST

`Evokes Gone Girl with its exploration of dark secrets and edge-of-your-seat twists' ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

`Gripping, beguiling and beautifully written... a page turner that chills as it intoxicates. Miranda Beverly-Whittemore has created a family so dangerously enthralling that the more we learn of their greed and bloodlust, the more we aspire to belong'
KATE CHRISTENSEN, PEN/Faulkner award-winning author of The Great Man and Blue Plate Special

`Part coming-of-age story, part riveting mystery, Bittersweet is a tantalizing tale of an outsider thrust into a glittering world of immense privilege and suspect morals. With a narrator torn between uncovering one family's dark secrets and protecting her own, Bittersweet brilliantly explores the complicated question of what price any of us would pay to seize the life of our dreams'
KIMBERLY MCCREIGHT, New York Times bestselling author of Reconstructing Amelia
