“The whirl of yachts, palazzos, stunning scenery, and beautiful strangers offers a delicious escape”
—Jennifer Weiner, New York Times bestselling author
A young entrepreneur, ousted from her startup, flees to Europe for a champagne-soaked car rally—and a chance at reinvention, romance, and, just maybe, a side dish of revenge
Perfect for fans of The Wedding People and The White Lotus
Advance Praise
The Rally is proof positive that The White Lotus hasn’t a monopoly on glam travel and bad behavior—in this case, a two-week parade of high-speed excess across Southern Europe. It’s a hoot: the sort of scrumptious novel you’ll devour like Belgian chocolate, French bread, and Italian wine.”
—Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Amateur and The Flight Attendant
The Rally is a joyride start to finish. I didn’t want it to end! With the fever-dream luxury of White Lotus and the backroom dealing of The Social Network, this glitzy debut is smart and fun and irresistibly sexy. Slipped in among the hedonism and debauchery are sharp insights into the precarious position that women find themselves in at the highest levels—whether that’s elite society or the dollar-signs bonanza of tech and startup culture. Carla Vass is an expert plotter; the juicy and romantic moments you’re turning the pages for build subtly into a sharp reflection of the world we’re living in, and who gets to profit from it.
—Emily Everett, Reese’s Bookclub Author of All That Life Can Afford
When your partner tries to steal the company you founded and threatens you with a noncompete clause, what's a girl to do? Head off to Europe for a few weeks of fast cars and faster living, where the whirl of yachts, palazzos, stunning scenery, and beautiful strangers offers a delicious escape...and, maybe, a happy ending.
—Jennifer Weiner, New York Times bestselling author of The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits
Charlotte “Charlie” Walker has spent the last four years building the dating app Flutter. Despite her own lack of dating experience(!), it’s an instant success. Life is great—until one day she walks into a boardroom and discovers she’s being given the boot. Could this have something to do with rejecting the advances of her cofounder?
Devastated, directionless, and free of obligations for the first time since college, Charlie jets to Europe to join her best friend on the Rally—an extravagant, high-octane road trip where a cast of well-heeled characters drive vintage luxury cars and party their way through breathtaking locales.
Her past, however, refuses to stay in the rearview mirror. As secrets about her company begin to surface, Charlie is forced to confront the truth behind her ousting. And when a magnetic new connection complicates everything, she must decide what she’s willing to risk: her reputation, her future, and maybe even her heart.
