#FashionVictim
Anya St. Clair is a fashion editor close to the top of her profession. She keeps a sharp wardrobe and a polished social media presence, and the people who once blocked her path have not fared well. Every rung of her climb has been earned by effort, and some of it by worse.
One person has what Anya lacks. Sarah Taft sits at the next desk: beautiful, stylish and rich, with beach-wave blonde hair and on-trend nail art, a woman who looks born to be an icon of the fashion world. Anya is fixated on her and wants to be her friend, her best friend, her only friend.
The trouble starts when Sarah becomes Anya's main rival for a promotion. Anya's campaign to win her friendship speeds up, and a new idea takes hold: to beat Sarah, she will have to become her.
This is a dark satire of the fashion industry told around an obsessive protagonist, with murder in the mix and a mocking, glossy tone. The office rivalry is the engine, and the book signals early that the competition between the two women could turn fatal.
