Cuidado con ella / Beware That Girl

Un poderoso thriller que explora el fascinante pero disfuncional mundo de la alta sociedad en que las apariencias lo son todo y donde los manipuladores con encanto pueden llegar muy lejos. #CuidadoConElla

Su pasado no la frenará.
Su objetivo es llegar a lo más alto.
¿Será capaz de hacerse un hueco entre la élite neoyorquina?

Hay gente que lo tiene todo, y otros que no tienen nada. Kate O'Brian es de los que no tienen nada.

Pero está dispuesta a cambiar su suerte: ahora es una estudiante becada del elitista Colegio Waverly de Nueva York y su plan es trepar por los escalafones sociales para conseguir entrar en Yale. Ya se ha hecho amiga de las chicas populares, en especial de la consentida, fabulosamente rica y profundamente traumatizada Olivia Sumner.

Cuando el atractivo Mark Redkin es contratado por la administración de Waverly, pronto se hace un lugar en los corazones de sus estudiantes, en especial en los de Kate y Olivia. Pero Mark también tiene planes, y está dispuesto a todo para llegar a la cima...

¿Cuánto se acercarán Kate y Olivia a Mark sin pasar de depredadoras a presas?

Crítica:
«Combina el ambiente de Gossip Girl con el suspense psicológico de Perdida.»
Publishers WeeklyENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For fans of We Were Liars, Gone Girl, and The Girl on the Train comes a powerful psychological thriller with a gripping pace and Hitchcockian twists. Set against the backdrop of New York City, this compelling novel delves into the dysfunctional yet mesmerizing world of the mega-wealthy elite and will keep readers guessing until the very last page. The Haves. The Have-Nots. Kate O'Brien appears to be a Have-Not. Her whole life has been a series of setbacks she's had to snake her way out of—some more sinister than others. But she's determined to change all that. She's book-smart. She's street-smart. And she's also a masterful liar. As the scholarship student at the elite Waverly School in NYC, Kate has her work cut out for her: her plan is to climb the social ranks and land a spot at Yale. She's already found her "people" among the senior-class "it" girls—specifically in the cosseted, mega-wealthy yet deeply damaged Olivia Sumner. As for Olivia, she considers Kate the best friend she's always needed, the sister she never had. When the handsome and whip-smart Mark Redkin joins the Waverly administration as head of fund-raising, he immediately charms his way into the faculty's and students' lives, becoming especially close to Olivia, a fact she's intent on keeping to herself. It becomes increasingly obvious that Redkin poses a threat to Kate, too, in a way she can't reveal—and can't afford to ignore. Mark has his own plan for a bright future and never doubts that he can pull it off. How close can Kate and Olivia get to him without having to share their dark pasts? "Combines a Gossip Girl milieu with the unsettled psychological terrain of Gone Girl." —PW
