This is scandalous fun that can
best be described as “The Wing” meets “The Illuminati” -- the story of a New
York journalist who goes undercover to tease out the secrets of an elite women’s-only social club.
It’s a club like no other. Only
the most important women receive an invitation. Or at least, that’s what the
rumors say―no one has yet to confirm the existence of Nevertheless, New York’s
most secret, female-run society that seems to have inordinate influence over
the city and its biggest scandals. People in the know whisper all sorts
of claims: membership dues cost $1,000 a month. The women even handpicked the
city’s first female mayor. But no one knows for sure.
Jillian Beckley, a native New
Yorker and recently laid-off journalist, makes it her mission to prove the
existence of this top-secret club.
It’s not long before Jillian
manages to find an “in” at Nevertheless―and is captivated by the billionaire
“girlbosses” who mingle with the astrology-obsessed and the trendiest of New
York influencers. While it’s hard to ignore the sense of confidence and
belonging that Nevertheless seems to provide―for its up-and-coming young
members, and for Jillian, too―Jillian can’t help but keep a watchful eye on the
club’s founders, who seem to be hiding something beyond the secret of the
group’s existence, and who are just a little too fond of calling themselves
“witches.”
As Jillian dives deeper into the
inner circles of Nevertheless, it becomes apparent that bad things happen to
those who dare to question the club’s motives―and its leaders may be far more
powerful, and dangerous, than she ever imagined.

Thanks so much for stopping by
today. Have you ever heard of any type of club like this elite women’s-only
social club?
Oh my.
ReplyDeleteI have heard about men's clubs which are powerful, secretive and dangerous, but not of the female equivalent. I can't see why not though.
This sounds so intriguing, Mason! And there are certainly men's clubs composed of powerful people - why not a women's club? What an interesting premise! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Mason - suffering connectivity problems ... hence not getting around as much as I'd like.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like loads of fun ... so an excellent choice to highlight here ... thanks - all the best - Hilary
