The Paper Wasp by Lauren Acampora

AN ELECTRIFYING DEBUT NOVEL OF TWO WOMEN'S FRIENDSHIP, HAUNTING OBSESSION AND TWISTED AMBITION, SET AGAINST THE SENSUOUS BACKDROP OF CONTEMPORARY HOLLYWOOD.

Abby Graven is a dreamer. She dreams her way through her small, lonely life, collecting tabloid clippings that taunt her with Elise - once her best friend, now Hollywood's hot new starlet.

When a school reunion throws Elise in her path, Abby seizes her chance. With feverish certainty, she boards a one-way flight to become Elise's assistant.

But behind Elise's glossy magazine veneer, she is drowning in LA's vicious social cycle. Ever the devoted friend, Abby conceals her own burning desire for greatness.

For she is smarter than Elise. More talented. A true artist. And as she edges closer to her own ambitions, Abby can see only one way to make her dream come true.
