When you're on top, you can get away with anything...
It's the week before her wedding, and all of Eliza's meticulous planning is about to pay off. She's become the exact type of woman who would marry into the prominent, blue-blood Walker family – Ivy League credentials, a high-powered PR job, and a designer label wardrobe.
But as the big day approaches, secrets from Eliza's past attending an Evangelical college start to throw her true motives into question. Who exactly is Eliza Bennett and what does she really want?
Written in a breakneck pace, capturing the glittering, privileged world of the one-percenters, THE SOCIAL CLIMBER is a gripping novel of one woman's determination to seek justice at any cost.

      Starred review from January 1, 2023
      Eliza Bennett is about to have her dream wedding. She's lined everything up exactly the way it's supposed to be: handsome groom, beautiful setting, gorgeous gown, moneyed in-laws. She's even ensured that the New York Times ""Vows"" section will be there to cover her nuptials. Everything she's planned will come off without a hitch. She also has a very good reason for planning this wedding. It isn't about getting married, though. No one knows the real Eliza. She is the daughter of Christian zealots, raised in a cult and educated at a draconian religious college. Her enviable life in NYC is all a front. The PR job, the icy friendships, even her perfect body are carefully crafted to cover up her own past and create the ideal circumstances for her future. In her second novel (after Smile and Look Pretty, 2021), Pellegrino guides the reader through a taut and unexpected thriller. The whip-smart dialogue and pop-culture references are just the backdrop for a tight and completely surprising story of revenge and love. A great read for fans of haves- vs. have-nots thrillers like The Social Creature, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and even The Secret History. Sharp, startling, sophisticated.
