{"product_id":"with-friends-like-these-a-novel","title":"With Friends Like These: A Novel","description":"“Deliciously twisty….A heady mix of dark academia, spiraling stakes, and tangled loyalties.” —Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author\n\nA group of Harvard alums have played a secret game for decades but as the stakes rise, deadly consequences emerge from old lies. An unputdownable debut thriller for readers of the suspenseful novels of Julia Bartz and Katy Hays.\n\nHarvard promised them everything.\n\nAt eighteen years old, six young women had ambitious futures ahead: bright careers, love affairs, an education that would open doors for the rest of their lives. Sara’s college roommates were the family she never had: Bee the political hopeful, Dina the academic prodigy, Allie the family girl, Wesley the hard-partying heiress, and Claudine the Southern belle—the closest thing Sara had ever known to a sister. But their senior year, Claudine died, and everything changed.\n\nTwenty years later, the five college roommates still indulge in a secret tradition they’ve kept alive since their campus days: the Circus, a harmless assassin-style game played across the private rooms and secret alleys of New York City. The game is the glue that keeps them close and a nod to the sixth roommate they lost too young, but this time around Sara keeps catching inexplicable glimpses of Claudine. She wants out of the Circus until she discovers a small fortune awaits the winner of this final round and agrees out of loyalty and desperation to play one last time. As the Circus unfolds, Sara suspects the others aren’t playing by the rules. When the game heats up and the roommates start pointing fingers, she discovers that even her closest friends have been keeping secrets that now threaten to destroy them all.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1668094002\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1668094002.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lee, Alissa\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
