The Goldens is a stunning and jaw-dropping debut from author Lauren Wilson.
Chloe has always dreamed of becoming a bestselling writer. Then she meets enigmatic influencer Clara Holland, and at last, Chloe has something to write about. They bond instantly, and Chloe moves into Clara’s mansion. But as Clara’s fame skyrockets, she starts behaving strangely, hosting increasingly wild parties, complete with bonfire rituals and moonlit river baptisms.
Clara opens up her home to other girls desperate to live like her. The media call it a cult, and soon Chloe begins to hear unsettling rumours from Clara’s past. After one spectacular party, a girl goes missing and the rumours take on a sinister new meaning. If Chloe can’t escape Clara’s influence, she may be next …
The Goldens is like Carole Hailey’s The Silence Project had a child who is now stepping into the spotlight. Much like The Silence Project, it focuses on women leading a cult and the ramifications of being involved in one, or even just being associated with one.
This jaw-dropping debut explores the power that women and social media have through the eyes of 18-year-old Chloe, who is flawed and so likeable, instantly drawing you into her world. Like many, she sits and scrolls through social media, admiring the life and influence that social media influencers like Clara Holland do.
What unfolds is a thrilling, yet sometimes sinister, look at the dark side of social media’s influence. It’s a compelling read that will easily become your next obsession, but it ultimately makes you think about how we use social media.
