| Summary |
"Propulsive, cheeky, eat-the-rich page-turner" —Casey McQuiston, The Washington Post "Theranos but make it gay." and#8212; Electric Literature A Most Anticipated Book of 2023 from Vulture , Elle , Lit Hub , Electric Literature , BuzzFeed , Our Culture , and Crimereads Best friends (and occasional lovers) Ezra and Orson are teetering on top of the world after founding a company that promises instant enlightenment in this thrilling caper about scams, schemes, and the absurdity of the American Dream. At seventeen, Ezra Green doesn't have a lot going for him: he's shorter than average, snaggle-toothed, internet-addicted, and halfway to being legally blind. He's also on his way to Last Chance Camp, the final stop before juvie. But Ezra's summer at Last Chance turns life-changing when he meets Orson, brilliant and Adonis-like with a mind for hustling. Together, the two embark upon what promises to be a fruitful career of scam artistry. But when they try to pull off their biggest scam yet—Nulife, a corporation that promises its consumers a lifetime of bliss—things start to spin wildly out of control. Searing and charming, with the suspense of The Talented Mr. Ripley , the decadence of The Great Gatsby , and the wit of Succession , Confidence is a story for anyone who knows that the American Dream is just another pyramid scheme. |
