Amber Patterson has a plan. For months, she's been meticulously crafting her entry into the elite world of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut. Her target? The wealthy and influential Jackson Parrish. Her strategy? Befriend his wife Daphne first. Amber has studied everything about the Parrishes-their habits, their history, even the cystic fibrosis foundation Daphne established in memory of her sister Julie. Fabricating a similar tragedy in her own past, Amber quickly becomes Daphne's confidante and friend. Behind her warm smile and sympathetic eyes, Amber calculates her every move. She's not just after Jackson's money-she wants his life, his status, his world. "Beauty alone isn't enough," she reminds herself. "Knowledge is power." And Amber has done her homework. From deliberately disabling Wi-Fi at a garden club meeting so she can heroically "fix" it to carefully selecting outfits that will appeal to Jackson's tastes, no detail is too small in her grand design. What makes Amber truly chilling isn't just her manipulation but her complete self-awareness. Unlike those who deceive themselves about their motivations, Amber knows exactly who she is and feels absolutely no remorse. She approaches social climbing with the precision of a military strategist, viewing relationships as transactions and people as stepping stones. In her mind, she's simply taking what the world has unfairly denied her.
