Porcelain Smiles | Saltburn

Set against the decaying luxury of Saltburn, this novel follows Lucy and Felix-lovers turned recent exes whose bond never truly breaks. When Felix invites a quiet, enigmatic outsider into their gilded world, the balance of friendship, desire, and privilege begins to fracture. What starts as an intimate summer of excess and reconciliation curdles into obsession, manipulation, and loss, as Lucy watches the people she loves disappear one by one.

As grief tightens its grip and trust erodes, Lucy is forced to confront a terrifying question: how well can you ever know someone who wants everything you have? Haunting, seductive, and deeply unsettling, this is a story about love that lingers, privilege that rots, and the thin, dangerous line between belonging and possession.

I do not own any characters except for Lucy, Elsie, Annie, and Max
