When an anonymous neighborhood forum gets hacked, the darkest secrets of New York’s wealthiest residents come to light—including some worth killing for—in this gripping suspense novel from the author of Just One Look. UrbanMyth: It was lauded as an alternative to the performative, show-your-best-self platforms—an anonymous discussion board grouped by zip code. The residents of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper East Side disclosed it all, things they would never share with their friends or their spouses: secret bank accounts, steamy affairs, tidbits of juicy gossip. The same people who, as parents, go to astonishing lengths to ensure that their children gain admission to the most prestigious boarding schools and universities. So when a “hacktivist” group breaks into the forum and exposes the real identity of each poster, the repercussions echo down Park Avenue with a force that none could have anticipated. And someone ends up dead. Is the murderer Heather, the outsider who would do anything to get her daughter into the elite’s good graces and into their even better schools? Norah, the high-powered executive failing to balance work with the emotional responsibilities of motherhood? Or Poppy, whose perfect-on-the-outside façade conceals more than her share of secrets? Each of them has something to hide. Each of them will do anything to keep secrets hidden. And each of them just might kill to protect their own.

The truth lies somewhere between the picket fences and pink blossoms, where friendships twist into tragic jealousies and barbecues hide bed hopping and bloodshed. By summer's end, the residents of Hot Springs Drive will never be the same... An unputdownable, unmissable, vicious blade of a novel that peels back the fragile veneer of two suburban families and the deadly secrets roiling between them.
Game guide Alexandra Carnell-Ellis is principled, doesn’t suffer fools, and is generally not too fond of ordinary people either. When she’s fired from The Plains, a commercial ‘Ferrari Safari’-type game reserve in the Karoo for being rude to guests, she’s determined to make a fresh start. She lands a dream job at an exclusive game reserve in Mpumalanga, but Alex arrives at the lodge with attitude, a few facts about her that aren’t strictly true, and a stolen dog in tow. Alex struggles to control her unruly tongue and almost immediately makes enemies with the camp manager and the owner’s terrifyingly scary girlfriend. She finds love in the form of the level-headed and attractive head guide, but it’s not long before everything goes wrong. After impulsively abandoning her vehicle and guests to rescue an abandoned baby baboon, a storm breaks over her head and she flees the reserve. Will she ever be able to find her way back?

Romantic comedy about a one-night stand gone wrong. After painful break ups, two young New Yorkers meet up for the night after seeing one another on a dating site. Urged on by her friend Faiza (Jessica Szohr), Megan (Analeigh Tipton) decides to take a chance and spend the night at Alec (Miles Teller)'s, who wants equally little commitment from their night together. But as Megan tries to flee in the morning after the pair realise they can't stand each other, there's a much more worrying revelation in store; they've slept through a snowstorm and are now trapped in Alec's small Brooklyn apartment. Once they get past the initial hostilities, the couple realise the only way they're going to make it through another day together is if they try and get to know each other. But will that make their situation any easier?
Satirical comedy starring Rob Schneider, Adrien Brody, Michelle Rodriguez and Ari Shaffir. The film utilises a narrative framing device where a selection of comedy skits are played through a smartphone application. Included in the skits is Adrien Brody playing 'Flirty Harry', a pink trousers-wearing cop whose speciality it seems is the gay-themed double entendre; Ari Shaffir playing 'The Amazing Racist'; and Rob Schneider and Michelle Rodriguez as reviewers who offer commentary on a range of pornographic films.
