DESCRIPTION

From Kelsey Rae Dimberg, comes a stunning novel set in the high-stakes world of Silicon Valley. A woman is found dead after falling from the roof of the headquarters of a fast-growing wellness start-up, but did she jump or was she pushed? Perfect for fans of Megan Abbott, Rosamund Lupton and Gillian Flynn.

BEAUTY IS PAIN . Exploring themes of ambition, authenticity and empowerment, this taut, politically charged feminist thriller delivers a scathing take-down of the wellness industry, perfect for fans of The Dropout and R. F. Kuang's Yellowface.

'A propulsive read with a healthy dose of cynicism' - The Times


It’s a woman’s world, isn’t it?

Rhoda West has the world at her feet.

As the luminously charismatic CEO of Radical, a fast-growing start-up, Rhoda has built a wellness company whose core mission is the betterment of women’s lives. Showcasing her cult products and her perfect life through her social media, Rhoda is the ultimate ‘Radigal’, encouraging her followers to be #bebetter, whilst driving her business to attain the billion-dollar unicorn status that she craves.

But just as Radical announces the latest fundraising round that will take it over the top, an anonymous twitter account begins revealing the company’s secrets and starts questioning its beliefs and approach, and Rhoda herself.

Is Rhoda really the nurturing leader that she presents to the world, or a fraud on a mission to exploit the women she claims to want to help? As tensions rise and enemies present themselves, the only questions are how far will Rhoda go to fulfil her legacy and how far will her enemies go to destroy it .
