The Social Climber: A Novel

by Amanda Pellegrino

Overview

When you’re on top, you can get away with anything...

It’s the week before her wedding, and all of Eliza’s meticulous planning is about to pay off. She’s become the exact type of woman who would marry into the prominent, blue-blood Walker family – Ivy League credentials, a high-powered PR job, and a designer label wardrobe. 

But as the big day approaches, secrets from Eliza’s past attending an Evangelical college start to throw her true motives into question. Who exactly is Eliza Bennett and what does she really want?

Written in a breakneck pace, capturing the glittering, privileged world of the one-percenters, THE SOCIAL CLIMBER is a gripping novel of one woman’s determination to seek justice at any cost.

Editorial Reviews

"Pellegrino writes with a voice so sharp that at first you might not register the blood but by then, it's too late: you're already hooked. Fans of Jessica Knoll and Eliza Jane Brazier will devour this concoction of stinging wit, shrewd maneuvering, and skeletons lurking inside every walk-in closet." —Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author of Whisper Network

“Pellegrino guides the reader through a taut and unexpected thriller. The whip-smart dialogue and pop-culture references are just the backdrop for a tight and completely surprising story of revenge and love.” —Booklist, starred review
