APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This riveting psychological thriller asks important questions about toxic workplaces, professional ambition, motherhood, and self-esteem. Set at a successful cosmetics start-up, Charlotte Duckworth’s debut novel revolves around middle executive Helena and her new hire, Ashley. The young go-getter shows a great deal of promise but will stop at nothing to rise up the corporate ladder—or so it seems to the suddenly vulnerable Helena. Duckworth tells the story from each woman’s perspective in a way that made us empathize with both characters, even at their most disturbed.
