Publisher Description

Best Friends (and occasional lovers) Ezra and Orson are teetering on top of the world after founding a company that promises instant enlightenment in this thrilling caper about scams, schemes, and the absurdity of the American Dream.

At seventeen, Ezra Green doesn’t have a lot going for him: he’s shorter than average, snaggle-toothed, internet-addicted, and halfway to being legally blind. He’s also on his way to last Chance Camp, the final stop before juvie.

But Ezra’s summer at Last Chance turns life-changing when he meets Orson, brilliant and Adonis-like with a mind for hustling. Together, the two embark upon what promises to be a fruitful career of scam artistry. But when they try to pull off their biggest scam yet—Nulife, a corporation that promises its consumers a lifetime of bliss—things start to spin wildly out of control.

Searing and charming, with the suspense of The Talented Mr. Ripley, the decadence of The Great Gatsby, and the wit of Succession, Confidence is a story for anyone who knows that the American Dream is just another pyramid scheme.

“Laugh-out-loud funny in the way it unapologetically skewers capitalism, the ‘American Dream,’ and the wellness industry, Confidence is a wild ride and the perfect read for anyone who loves watching true crime documentaries.”

— BuzzFeed

Quotes

  • "Destined to be a new LGBTQ classic of suspense!”

    — Crime Reads
  • “A Gatsby for the twenty-first century…Written with a dry, tongue-in-cheek wit, the novel also explores how the desire for love and connection can cause a kind of obliviousness. Perfect for fans of social satire.”

    — Library Journal (starred review)
  • “At once witty and wrenching.”
