"Take The Talented Mr. Ripley , cross it with Suspiria , add a dash of La La Land and mix . . . and this arty psychological stalker novel is what might result." — The New York Times Book Review Named a Best Book of the Summer by The New York Times , O Magazine , Elle , Town & Country , Tatler , and Publishers Weekly and one of "5 books not to miss" by USA Today In small-town Michigan, Abby Graven leads a solitary life. Once a bright student on the cusp of a promising art career, she now languishes in her childhood home, trudging to and from her job as a supermarket cashier. Each day she is taunted from the magazine racks by the success of her former best friend Elise, a rising Hollywood starlet whose life in pictures Abby obsessively scrapbooks. At night, Abby escapes through the films of her favorite director, Auguste Perren, a cult figure known for his creative institute the Rhizome. Inspired by Perren, Abby draws fantastical storyboards based on her often premonitory dreams, a visionary gift she keeps hidden. When Abby encounters Elise again at their high school reunion, she's surprised and warmed that Elise still considers her not only a friend but a brilliant story
