“It’s exciting, it’s surprising, it’s satisfying, it’s darkly funny, and it will keep you guessing.”—Linda Holmes for Today.com

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.

Mixed review

Would have loved more narrative and less email reading. The ending needed more clarity for me. I enjoyed trying to figure out who and why, but felt underwhelmed at the ending because I wanted to know more. Still glad I stick with it. Hard to get into for a while.

Fun Read

This is very Inventing Ana. I highly recommend. It’s a quick, fun read. Finished in two days.

That ending!!!

Jaw is on the floor.  Whew this was a fun ride. The mixed formatting (texts, instagram posts, emails...) made it a bit challenging at first to follow on audio, but I'm glad I kept listening because the narrator held my attention the entire time and she did a fantastic job especially with the different voices and accents. Highly recommended especially if you enjoy stories about conwomen and their schemes. 

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!

Fun read!

The characters are well-developed and interesting. I felt like this was a timely-written book.

Love that twist

The voices were awful but it was a captivating story that I didn’t guess the end of.

Very good narration

I really loved the storyline and how it has presented. And also, the narrator was really compelling and excited when she presented every chapters. Thanks, Carlotta

Interesting

I listened all in one day i was hooked from the very first word. The end i wasnt expecting. It completely caught me off guard and left me with a mix of emotions. Thinking back now i guess i should have seen it coming. I can't wait to recommend this book to all my friends and discuss the ending with them.
