PRE-ORDER FOR JUNE 17, 2025

Next to Heaven by James Frey
💸 A provocative, pitch-black satire of wealth, privilege, and desire in America’s most “perfect” town—where status comes at a deadly price.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Million Little Pieces, James Frey returns with a darkly hilarious, wildly unfiltered novel that’s already drawing comparisons to The White Lotus, Big Little Lies, and the juiciest works of Jackie Collins and Tom Wolfe.

Set in New Bethlehem, Connecticut, where curated perfection masks simmering scandal, Next to Heaven dives deep into the lives of the town’s elite. When beautiful, wealthy couple Devon and Belle grow bored with their charmed existence, they throw a party—one that promises thrills, secrets, and a level of debauchery even their exclusive zip code isn’t ready for.

As champagne flows and inhibitions vanish, buried desires and dark resentments erupt, culminating in a shocking murder that tears the town’s pristine image to shreds.
