writer' Anna Bailey, Sunday Times bestselling author of Tall BonesCelebrated director Jack Drake can't get through his latest film (his most personal yet) without his wife Martha's support.

Um thriller de ritmo acelerado, brevemente na Netflix, com Millie Bobby Brown no papel principal. Para compreenderem a minha história, terão de conhecer primeiro as raparigas que fui. Tudo começou com a minha mãe, uma burlona que me ensinou a arte do engano. Juntas, éramos dissimuladas e imbatíveis… até que deixei de ser a filha perfeita e fugi. Sou a Nora, uma rapariga com uma vida normal. Mas os sarilhos perseguem-me, e neste momento sou apenas uma entre os reféns de um assalto a um banco. Para piorar, estou aqui encurralada com o meu ex-namorado e a minha nova namorada… É complicado! Quando os assaltantes me apontaram a arma, pensei em submeter-me imediatamente às suas ordens, mas depois lembrei-me: eu e as minhas artimanhas somos a única hipótese de sairmos daqui vivos! Porque estes criminosos não fazem a MÍNIMA ideia de quem eu sou, e quando se derem conta… será tarde demais! Filhas perfeitas cometem crimes perfeitos! «Um livro tão intenso! Muito bem concebido e extremamente cinematográfico.» Book Riot «Um thriller fascinante, explosivo e positivamente queer.» Kirkus «Se procuras uma leitura young adult queer e contemporânea, com personagens complexas, muita ação e que te tire o sono, este é o livro! Vai agarrar-te até à última página.» Culturess
