To have the most admired girl on campus as a friend—beautiful, alluring, brilliant, cheerful, audacious? When Christa turns to her, shy and solitary Blanche can hardly believe this almost overwhelming happiness. She doesn't hesitate to give her everything, and she starts by having her move in to spare her long train journeys.
Blanche will quickly realize what a formidable trap she has fallen into. For her new friend turns out to be a disturbing manipulator who needs to assert herself by torturing a victim. To the point that Blanche will have to choose: let herself be annihilated, or fight back.
We can count on the novelist of *Stupeur et tremblements* (Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française) and *Robert des noms propres* to bring this merciless confrontation to its conclusion, and at the same time give us a incisive book, both cruel and tender, about the pains of adolescence.
