From the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Olivie Blake, this is a powerful and darkly fun novel about ambition, lust and eating your fill - as wealthy moms and sorority girls practice a sinister new wellness trend . . .

Good girls deserve a treat.

The House is the most exclusive sorority on campus, and all its alumni are beautiful, high-achieving and respected.

After a freshman year she would rather forget, sophomore Nina Kaur knows being accepted into The House is the first step to the brightest possible future. The House will surely ease her fears of failure and protect her from those who see a young woman on her own as prey.

Meanwhile, adjunct professor Dr Sloane Hartley is struggling. After eighteen months at home with her newborn daughter, Sloane's clothes don't fit right; her girl-dad husband isn't as present as he thinks he is; and even the few hours a day she's apart from her child fill her psyche with paralyzing ennui. When invited to be The House's academic liaison, Sloane enviously drinks in a level of collective perfection that Sloane desperately craves.

As Nina and Sloane each get drawn deeper into the arcane rituals of the sisterhood, they learn that living well comes with bloody costs. And when they are finally invited to the table, they will have to decide just how much they can stomach in the name of solidarity and power.

Reviews for Girl Dinner

A book that whets your appetite before devouring you whole. Girl Dinner is cunning, charged and just as you’re comfortable – a profound shock. Perfect for the era we live in -- Chloe Gong, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Immortal Longings</i> Seriously, WHAT did I just read?! And when can I have seconds?! A brilliant head trip of a book, Olivie Blake constantly comes at timely topics from new and interesting angles. I can't wait to see what she does next! -- Katee Robert, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Neon Gods</i> Girl Dinner is a crackling, tense journey between the ravenous teeth of feminine rage and sorority power struggles. Overflowing with creeping dread. I devoured it and loved every second -- Chuck Tingle, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of <i>Bury Your Gays</i> A female-fueled tumbleweed of bloodthirsty seduction. A decadent dive into the dark depths of ambition and toxic relationships. Deliciously addictive -- A. R. Torre, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Good Lie</i> Whip sharp, nuanced and highly propulsive. I will be thinking about Girl Dinner for a long time -- Hildur Knútsdóttir, author of <i>The Night Guest</i> Told with Blake’s signature wit and driven by a cast of morally gray characters you will hate to love and love to hate, Gifted & Talented is equal parts black comedy, sharp indictment of privilege and power, and soaring, vicious drama. Addictively entertaining, this is Blake at the height of her abilities -- Ava Reid, No. 1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Lady Macbeth</i> Incisive, unsparing, and utterly brilliant. Gifted & Talented is a remarkable character study meditating on the consequences of dynasty and power. Olivie Blake’s storytelling has risen to empyrean heights -- Chloe Gong, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Immortal Longings</i> Take the love-to-hate-'em siblings of Succession, add a dash of The Magicians' real-world magic, and put it together with Olivie Blake's stellar sense of humor, and you have Gifted & Talented, a refreshing tale of spoiled-sibling woe, mysterious curses, and family complexity that will absolutely delight you -- Veronica Roth, No. 1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>When Among Crows</i> Olivie Blake's singular narrative voice sparkles in Gifted & Talented – a timely tale of greed, ambition and rivalry which eviscerates the world of wealth and privilege in nimble and terrific style -- M. L. Rio, bestselling author of <i>If We Were Villains</i> Gifted & Talented is a wickedly funny book about perfectly horrible people – and some of them even get what they deserve. Blake's sly prose and vivid character work bring the dreadful siblings to life, but also give us moments of heart-clenching tenderness. A delight -- Emily Tesh, Hugo Award-winning author of <i>Some Desperate Glory</i>
