HTML:<b>One of <i>The</i> <i>Washington Post</i>'s 50 Best Works of Fiction of 2023<br /> A <i>New York Times</i> Editors' Choice<br /> One of <i>Them</i>'s Best Books of 2023<br /> One of <i>Crimereads</i> Best Crime Novels of 2023</b><br /> <b>"Theranos but make it gay." —<i>Electric Literature</i></b><br /> <br /> <b>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 "propulsive, cheeky, eat-the-rich page-turner" (<i>The Washington Post</i>) about scams, schemes, and the absurdity of the American Dream.</b><br /> At seventeen, Ezra Green doesn't have a lot going on 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.<br /> <br /> 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 things start to spin wildly out of control when they try to pull off their biggest scam yet—Nulife, a corporation that promises its consumers a lifetime of bliss.<br /> <br /> "Propulsive" (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>) and "laugh-out-loud funny" (<i>BuzzFeed</i>), with the suspense of <i>The Talented Mr. Ripley</i>, the decadence of <i>The Great Gatsby</i>, and the wit of <i>Succession</i>, <i>Confidence</i> is a story for anyone who knows that the American Dream is just another pyramid scheme.
