We Could Be Beautiful

"Huntley is adept at deploying Catherine's good fortune as a fulcrum of suspense.... Huntley writes with wit and verve, excelling at economically hilarious descriptions.... The book's strengths lie... in the zippy social satire, in the portrait of a dysfunctional family (Catherine's relationship with her sister turns out to be especially affecting), and, most of all, in Catherine's voice--strange and funny and engaging to the very end." --The New York Times Book Review

"Sharp, hilarious, and thrillingly unsettling. This well-crafted page-turner about a woman trapped in a gilded cage of her own creation is a sheer pleasure to read; it's also complex and multilayered, much like the characters that inhabit it." --Stephanie Clifford, bestselling author of Everybody Rise

"Here's a thriller we can sink into. Deeply psychological and nuanced." --Elle

"A novel that is deeper than its heiress-meets-man-of-her-dreams setup. The reason: Huntley's uncanny ability to detect the fault lines in Manhattan's glitterati as if flaws in a precious diamond--and make us laugh about them." --O, The Oprah Magazine

"Quite the psychological thriller that keeps readers on edge wondering how far Catherine will go and how much she'll sacrifice for the truth.... Brilliantly exposes the life of an affluent family and what greed, lies and wealth can do to them." --Daily News

"Mesmerizing.... As elegantly plotted as it is--and it is--Huntley's debut stands out not for its thrills but rather for her hawkish eye for social detail and razor-sharp wit. It is more than a classic psychological thriller: it is also a haunting--and weirdly moving--portrait of love and family among Manhattan's flailing upper crust. An intoxicating escape; as smart as it is fun." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
