| book description |

From the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Olivie Blake, this is a powerful and darkly fun novel about ambition, lust and eating your fill â€“ as wealthy moms and sorority girls practice a sinister new wellness trend . . . Good girls deserve a treat. The House is the most exclusive sorority on campus, and all its alumni are beautiful, high-achieving and respected. After a freshman year she would rather forget, sophomore Nina Kaur knows being accepted into The House is the first step to the brightest possible future. The House will surely ease her fears of failure and protect her from those who see a young woman on her own as prey. Meanwhile, adjunct professor Dr Sloane Hartley is struggling. After eighteen months at home with her newborn daughter, Sloaneâ€™s clothes donâ€™t fit right; her girl-dad husband isnâ€™t as present as he thinks he is; and even the few hours a day sheâ€™s apart from her child fill her psyche with paralyzing ennui. When invited to be The Houseâ€™s academic liaison, Sloane enviously drinks in a level of collective perfection that Sloane desperately craves. As Nina and Sloane each get drawn deeper into the arcane rituals of the sisterhood, they learn that living well comes with bloody costs. And when they are finally invited to the table, they will have to decide just how much they can stomach in the name of solidarity and power. â€˜Whip-sharp, nuanced, and highly propulsiveâ€™ - Hildur KnÃºtsdÃ³ttir, author of The Night Guest â€˜Truly brilliant . . . wickedly fun and deeply satisfyingâ€™ - Ling Ling Huang, author of Natural Beauty and Immaculate Conception â€˜An exploration of the many hungers of the female heartâ€™ - Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of The Violence
