The Great Godden by Meg Rosoff

Everyone loves Kit: he’s full of charm and movie-star looks. But “all that glitters is not gold.” This is a great end of summer read. It has all the glamour and seduction of beautiful characters and a rich person’s lake-house, with something sinister lurking under the sultry The Great Godden explores the toxicity of Kit, and how one person can cause immense damage. His brother Hugo is his opposite: withdrawn and observant, he sees the truth when others are blinded by Kit’s beauty.

This book is a warning about the Kits in our lives. Honestly, he’s a bit of a predator, manipulating others to his advantage. There’s certainly a message that people aren’t always what they appear, and sometimes we need to be cautious to protect ourselves . . . and there was a twist I didn’t see coming at the end

“I tend to trust my instincts, though they're not always right.”
