After a rough year at NYU, aspiring writer Lora Ricci is thrilled to land a summer internship at ELLE magazine where she meets Cat Wolff, contributing editor and enigmatic daughter of a clean-energy mogul. Cat takes Lora under her wing, soliciting her help with side projects and encouraging her writing.

As a friendship emerges between the two women, Lora opens up to Cat about her financial struggles and lost scholarship. Cat’s solution: Drop out of NYU and become her ghostwriter. Lora agrees and, when the internship ends, she moves into Cat’s suite at the opulent Plaza Hotel. Writing during the day and accompanying Cat to extravagant parties at night, Lora’s life quickly shifts from looming nightmare to dream-come-true. But as Lora is drawn into Cat’s glamorous lifestyle, Cat’s perfect exterior cracks, exposing an illicit, shady world.

A whip-smart and delightfully inventive writer, Susan Rigetti brilliantly pieces together a perceptive, humorous caper full of sharp observations about scam culture. Composed of diary entries, emails, FBI correspondence, and more, Cover Story is a fresh, fun, and wholly original novel that takes readers deep into the codependency and deceit found in a relationship built on power imbalance and lies.

“[A] page-turner that’s hilarious in its dedication to vamping on viral news stories about real-life strivers and cons from Delvey to Instagram personality Caroline Calloway … a delicious read.”—TIME magazine

Ray = Re…..Agrh!

Why would you pronounce “Re” (regarding) as “Ray”? Drove me crazy!

Story was OK, but the ending felt forced.

How naive Lora is.

It leaves the reader to speculate as to whether it is a story written by Lora or she was the product of identity theft, but that is the allure of the book

WOAH!

Predictable at some points but THE ENDING! Loved the twists and turns and reveal of the truth.

Surprise Ending!

Nice & light spring read! After a while the RE:, RE, RE, RE’s … we’re annoying, but I saw the authors point and perhaps came across as annoying g only when listening to it! Fashion, envy, and deception!

Great twist at the end!

This book was a fun read. The story line was interesting and the ending had a twist I absolutely did not see coming. The narration was very nice as well. I hope Susan will write another fiction soon!
