Publisher Description
'A promising writing debut' Daily Mail
Brandi Maxwell is living the fashion intern dream.
Except, the dream looks more like living on the breadline, scrubbing sick from couture dresses, and dealing with daily microaggressions about her braids - all things she's sure she can ignore in the name of success.
The one thing she can't ignore is Taylor Van Doren.
Model, icon, heiress to the fashion house throne. Taylor only wants two things: her father's money and Brandi's boyfriend. Nothing will stand in her way. Certainly not a poor Black girl from New Jersey.
But when Brandi overhears something she shouldn't, their fates become dangerously intertwined. And she must find a way to navigate the cutthroat world of deceptively beautiful people before she becomes fashion's latest victim.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Brandi Maxwell, the protagonist of Brown and Brown's suspenseful debut, grew up on the mean streets of Newark, N.J., but has finally achieved the life she believes she deserves. She's juggling studying at FIT in New York City with her dream internship at a high-end fashion house—an unpaid internship she could never afford if her boyfriend, Nate Robinson, the privileged son of a football star and himself a star college football player, didn't support her financially as well as emotionally. But Brandi is still subjected to the microaggressions and outright discrimination facing a Black woman in fashion's world of trust fund babies. After she overhears the owner's daughter, Taylor Van Doren, plotting to kill her father, Simon, because he has threatened to disinherit her over her drug use, Brandi winds up framed for Simon's murder and must fight to clear her name. Readers should be prepared for some over-the-top characterizations and unlikely plot twists, such as a villain who is too inept to fake a simple urine test being able to plot and pull off a near-perfect murder. Fans of Gossip Girl will have fun.
