For Eliza Bennett, all her planning and scheming for her dream wedding is about to pay off. She’s girlbossed her way into an elite Manhattan lifestyle, including a high-powered job in PR and an engagement to Graham Walker, a high-society Yale graduate from a prominent blue-blooded family.
But as the big day approaches, secrets from Eliza’s past attendance at an Evangelical college start to throw her true motives into question. Who exactly is Eliza Bennett and what does she really want?
Written with a breakneck pace and capturing the glittering, privileged world of the one-percenters, The Social Climber is a gripping novel that shows how you can never truly outrun your past—nor the people from it.
THE SOCIAL CLIMBER
Amanda Pellegrino
I thought there was something juicy in the details hiding behind the synopsis of Amanda Pellegrino’s latest book. I was wrong. Nothing is there.
Nothing.
I read for hours, and hours, almost to the end of Pellegrino’s book before anything happened. She set the stage for hundreds of pages, with nothingness.
A dash of a young girl with self-esteem issues, a little religiosity, a college setting, and rich people doing bad things. It sounds like a really good book to me if it is the stage and not the whole play.
I love a thriller that feels like I’m reading a tabloid magazine. It fills the hole in my heart left when I stopped watching Real Housewives and I know this book hits the target for you too.
I was first introduced to Pellegrino last year when I read her book about bad boys in the office and her feminist revenge stories are appealing in concept, but very thin in the product. There is nothing to hold onto.
While reading THE SOCIAL CLIMBER I kept waiting for something to happen, a character to do something, and a plot line to form that would provide interest. But nothing.
And then you get this horrible ending.
The conclusion after all this nothingness makes absolutely no sense. It was a sad gift to be given after sitting through the duration of the novel.
Thanks to Netgalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing, Park Row for the advanced copy!
