Alex Kanenwisher, book buyer at Costco, has selected The It Girl by Ruth Ware (Gallery/Scout Press, $28.99, 9781982155261) as the pick for July. In Costco Connection, which goes to many of the warehouse club's members, Kanenwisher writes:
"Friendships forged when we're young often have an intensity all their own. Ruth Ware's latest novel, The It Girl, begins with that kind of relationship.
"When they meet at Oxford, Hannah is quickly pulled into the orbit of vivacious, clever--and sometimes vicious--April. By the end of their first term, they've formed a close friend group with four others. By the end of their second term, April is dead. Who really killed her, and how long can some secrets stay buried?"
