There she meets her  next-door neighbor Caroline, a magnetic filmmaker on the rise, as well  as the pack of teenage girls who hang around her house. They are the  subjects of Caroline’s next semidocumentary movie, which follows the girls’ clandestine activity: a Fight Club  inspired by the violent classic.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e As  Cass is drawn into the film’s orbit, she is awed by Caroline’s ambition  and confidence. But over time, she becomes troubled by how deeply  Caroline is manipulating the teens in the name of art—especially as the consequences become increasingly disturbing. With  her past proving hard to shake and her future one she’s no longer sure  she wants, Cass is forced to reckon with her own ambitions and confront  what she has come to believe about the steep price of success.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49326633746736,"sku":"BDdyvu","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/537515-dyvu-Square.jpg?v=1733647724","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-dyvu","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
