In the dazzling yet ruthless world of the Upper East Side, Juliette Hastings is the epitome of perfection-flawless beauty, impeccable grades, and an enviable social standing. To the outside world, she is untouchable, a golden girl sculpted by privilege and prestige. But behind the meticulously crafted image lies a girl on the verge of collapse. Haunted by eating disorders, trauma, and anxiety, Juliette has spent her life suffocating under impossible standards, her pain buried beneath a mask of poise.

Her family is a fractured illusion of wealth and power-a mother lost in alcohol, a father absent in his ambition, and a brother who manipulates the truth, making her believe she is the reason for their mother's downward spiral. With no one to rely on, Juliette learns to survive alone-until Vivienne, her best friend, becomes her only anchor in a world built on deception. But even Vivienne's unwavering kindness cannot silence the demons that claw at Juliette's mind.

Then there's Nate Archibald-the boy with ocean-blue eyes who sees past her perfect exterior, glimpsing the cracks she so desperately tries to hide. In his presence, she is real, stripped of the expectations that confine her. Yet, in a world where love is nothing more than a game of status, Juliette knows that even the most sincere connections can be shattered in an instant.

As secrets unravel and the weight of her past threatens to consume her, Juliette is faced with a choice-continue playing the role the Upper East Side demands, or break free from the gilded cage that has kept her prisoner for so long. But in a society where perfection is power and truth is the ultimate weapon, freedom comes at a cost.

And some glass, once shattered, can never be pieced back together.
