2 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
Succession meets Megan Abbott in this seductive, technological suspense about the dramatic downfall of one of America’s most affluent families. "Terrifying and uncanny.” —Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters The old-money Wieland family has it all—wealth, status, power. They’re also famously cursed. Clara and her brother, Teddy, grew up on a small island in Maine in the shadow of their parents’ tragic deaths, haunted by rumors and paparazzi. Fourteen years later, they’ve mostly put their turbulent past to rest. Teddy has married Clara’s best friend, Jess, and the three of them have moved back home to take over the sprawling, remote family mansion known as Vantage Point. Then Teddy decides to run for the Senate—an unnerving prospect made much worse when intimate videos of Clara are leaked online. The most frightening part is that she doesn't remember filming any of them. Are the videos real? Or are they deepfakes? Is someone trying to take down the Wielands once and for all? Everyone thinks Clara is losing her grasp on reality. But she knows the truth: the videos are only the beginning. Years ago, the curse destroyed her parents. Now, it’s coming for her. Sara Sligar, the critically acclaimed author of Take Me Apart, returns with a shocking family drama full of suspense. Brimming with palpable tension, Vantage Point carefully unravels a twisted web of family secrets and political ambition that raises questions about the nature of “truth” in our digital age.

Megarich family scion Teddy is running for senator while sister Clara just tries to keep it together after a traumatic experience and addiction issues. Then something rattles the family and the campaign, steadily growing more sinister. I really enjoyed this, told from the POVs of Clara and Teddy‘s wife Jess.

The book was intriguing and addictive. There was a part I didn't completely buy into, but I still loved it. This is how rich New Englanders really behave. The family dynamics and character development were solid.
