YOU CAN TRUST ME by Wendy Heard is THAT book and brace yourself, because some new scammers just dropped.
When Leo’s tech-billionaire mark invites her to a long weekend on an exclusive luxury island (that he owns, btw), she thinks there’s no way she could have played it better. But then she disappears.
And like any concerned friend, Summer flirts with someone who can get her invited to the island, and she begins a secret and careful search to find Leo…
Think The White Lotus season 2 + Glass Onion + Inventing Anna.“Holy page turner, y’all. Scrupulously plotted with two of the most memorable protagonists I’ve read in a while, You Can Trust Me is one for the keeper shelf.

“You Can Trust Me is a blazingly sharp, sexy, feminist thriller. If you wished The White Lotus season 2 was told from the point of view of Mia and Lucia (then added sexy billionaires, private islands, and a whole bunch of murder most foul) run, don't walk, to pick up You Can Trust Me. I'll be thinking about Summer and Leo for a long, long time.”—Halley Sutton, author of The Hurricane Blonde

“You Can Trust Me
is a propulsive, sun-drenched adventure with smart, sharp commentary on wealth and power. Come for the

—Grace D. Li, New York Times bestselling author of The Portrait of a Thief

It is a slick and stylish thriller that seamlessly weaves mystery and suspense into a gripping story of two young women who prove everything isn’t always what it seems, especially when it comes to murder.”—Wanda M. Morris, award-winning author of All Her Little Secrets and Anywhere You Run
ABOUT YOU CAN TRUST ME:
In
this gripping, stylish thriller, two best friends grift their way
through the California elite, until a scam goes awry…with devastating
consequences.
Summer and Leo would do anything for each
other. Inspired by the way each has had to carve her place in a hostile
and unforgiving world, and united by the call of the open road, they
travel around sunny California in Summer’s
tricked-out Land Cruiser. It’s not a glamorous life, but it gives them
the freedom they crave—from family, expectations, and the painful pasts
they’ve left behind. But even free spirits have bills to pay. Luckily,
Summer is a skilled pickpocket, a small-time
thief, and a con artist—and Leo, determined to pay her own way, has
learned a trick or two from Summer.
Eager for a big score, Leo sets her
crosshairs on Michael Forrester, a self-made billionaire and
philanthropist. When her charm wins him over, Leo’s rewarded with an
invite to his private island off the coast of Los Angeles for
a night of fabulous excess. She eagerly anticipates returning with
photos that can be sold to the paparazzi, jewelry that can be liquidated, and endless stories to share with Summer.
Instead, Leo disappears.
The police assure Summer that her friend
probably just ditched her. After all, who would believe a philanthropic
billionaire could be up to no good? On her own for the first time in
years, Summer decides to infiltrate Michael’s
island and find out what really happened. But as Summer searches for
Leo, she discovers heavily guarded secrets—ones worth killing for. Could
Summer have met her match?
