I love a book where one character is being manipulated by another and you have a difficult time believing they don’t realize it’s happening. Think Fake by Erica Katz; completely different plot line on the surface, but vibes are the same. Magazine writer Lily is caught up in the charisma of the enigmatic Billie, a cosmetics mogul, while navigating her toxic workplace and breaking down relationship with Alison. It keeps you on the edge of wondering what will happen next.
