From the author of Let's Talk About Love and If It Makes You Happy,
this exuberant YA novel follows six teens locked together in a
mansion, contending for a life-changing cash prize in a competition
run by a reclusive heiress. Everyone thinks they know Jewel Van
Hanen. Heiress turned actress turned social media darling who
created the massively popular video-sharing app, Golden Rule. After
mysteriously disappearing for a year, Jewel makes her dramatic
return with an announcement: she has chosen a few lucky Golden Rule
users to spend an unforgettable weekend at her private estate. But
once they arrive, Jewel ingeniously flips the script: the guests
are now players in an elaborate estate-wide game. And she's
tailored every challenge and obstacle to test whether they have
what it takes to win--at any cost. Told from the perspective of
three dazzling players--Nicole: the new queen of Golden Rule; Luna:
Jewel's biggest fan; and Stella: a brilliant outsider--this novel
will charm its way into your heart and keep you guessing how it all
ends because money isn't the only thing at stake. Praise for Let's
Talk About Love: This book is so charming and funny and bighearted.
... I recommend this one for fans of Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl and
Sandhya Menon's When Dimple Met Rishi. --Becky Albertalli, author
of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda Claire Kann makes an admirable
debut with this milestone for ace visibility. --Entertainment
