What this book is about
Evie Porter is the perfect girlfriend — charming, attentive, and completely fake. She's a career grifter who takes on new identities for each job. But when her latest mark turns out to be running his own deception, Evie finds herself trapped in a game she didn't know she'd entered. A twisty dual-timeline thriller about identity, manipulation, and the lies we tell to survive.
