Success is an acquired taste . . .

From the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Olivie Blake, this is a powerful and darkly fun novel about ambition, lust and eating your fill – as wealthy mums and sorority girls practice a sinister new wellness trend.

Being accepted into The House would be Nina Kaur’s first step into a bright and shining future. The most exclusive sorority on campus, its members are beautiful, high-achieving and respected. Nina craves this security.

Adjunct professor Dr Sloane Hartley is struggling with new motherhood and a return to work. Her clothes don’t fit right, her husband isn’t as present as he thinks and her dissatisfaction is increasingly paralyzing. When Sloane is invited to join The House as their faculty advisor, she drinks in the collective perfection on display.

Nina and Sloane are drawn ever deeper into the sisterhood’s arcane rituals. But living well comes with bloody costs. And how much can they really afford to pay?
