Rich and Pretty

In this engaging debut set in contemporary New York, Rumaan Alam delves into the evolving friendship between Sarah and Lauren, two best friends who have shared two decades of life’s milestones. As Sarah meticulously plans her wedding while working at a charity, Lauren navigates the unpredictable waters of single life in publishing, each woman grappling with envy and admiration for the other's choices. As their lives diverge, they must confront whether their bond still holds true or if it has simply become a habit. With sharp wit and keen insight, Alam examines how childhood attachments transform as adulthood unfolds.
