The Debutantes
Jessica Goodman meets The Agathas in this taut, twisty YA thriller set in the glittering world of Mardi Gras in New Orleans, where secrets—and bodies—never stay buried.
For the New Orleans elite, the Les Masques Ball is sure to be the social event of the season—if they can avoid another dead Queen. When debutante Margot Landry was found dead the morning after her reign at last year’s ball, it was a tragedy, but not a shocking one. Margot was a wild child with a self-destructive streak, nothing like this year’s Queen, Lily LeBlanc. With a perfectly poised debutante on the throne, everything is going according to plan…until the ball is hijacked by a mysterious figure in a Jester costume. That night, Lily sends a text to three of the Maids on her royal court—her best friend, Vivian; her boyfriend's sister, Piper; and April, her former frenemy—asking them all to meet the next morning. But Lily never shows up.
On the surface, these three debutantes don’t have anything in common except their exclusive private school and their ties to Les Masques. But soon, they realize why Lily brought them together: something dark is lurking beneath the glamorous surface of the debutante world, and it might be the reason she disappeared. And the further the girls dig, the more they begin to suspect that Margot's death may not have been an accident—and that Lily may be next. When the Jester starts threatening to expose their own secrets, this unlikely trio must team up to uncover the monsters behind the Mardi Gras masks—before they’re left with another dead debutante.

What a thrilling ride, with twists hidden inside other twists like matryoshka dolls, action-packed scenes, smart pacing, well-constructed characterization, and spine-tingling yet colorful, eccentric settings in New Orleans! As someone who spends each Halloween in NOLA, I fell in love with this entire concept!
I didn’t expect to enjoy this book so much or give it five stars at first, even though it started with a fast-paced, Carrie-esque ball incident. Initially, I thought the three main characters (or four, if you include Lily, who is the key piece of the entire puzzle) were not very relatable, and some of their dialogues and descriptions felt a little lame. However, after a few chapters, I was completely sold! The big mystery unfolds into other mysteries, revealing the secrets of the townsfolk, critiquing patriarchy and chauvinism, and showcasing the unconventional friendship of the girls as they strive to uncover the mystery of the dead queen and the kidnapping of their friend. This instantly made me flip the pages faster, holding my breath, squirming in my seat, and forming theories about the perpetrator. I managed to guess some of it, but the jaw-dropping twist at the end was brilliantly executed, earning my ovation! It was well-played, fooling me in the smartest way.
Here’s a quick rundown on debutante culture: The term "debutante," a French word meaning "female beginner," is a tradition inherited from the United Kingdom during George Washington’s presidency. Newly independent America held debutante presentations in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., a practice that continued for Washington elites into the 20th century. Originally, the term indicated that the woman was old enough to be married, and part of her coming out was to display her to eligible bachelors and their families with a view to marriage within a select circle.
This old tradition still continues in the South, including in New Orleans, Louisiana. A debutante is usually presented at a ball during the Carnival season, reminiscent of Victorian-era courting.
It seems that some minds are stuck in old centuries, and poor young girls are still forced to parade like cattle to make their parents proud (this is a theme questioned in the book through town conspiracy theories).
Here’s a quick recap of the plot:
As Les Masques Ball, the most anticipated social event for the New Orleans elite, finally arrives, avoiding last year’s tragic event where the last queen, Margot Landry, died from an overdose, the prestigious families focus on their children’s representation at the ball, honoring their old traditions.
But on the night of the ball, the new queen, Lily LeBlanc, from one of the wealthiest families in town, is attacked with fake blood by a man in a mysterious jester costume while video images of the last dead queen play in the background.
Lily acts quickly as if nothing happened, but she has a quarrel with her boyfriend Wyatt. She then sends messages to three girls, who are also chosen as maids of the ball: her boyfriend’s sister Piper, her former frenemy April, and her best friend Vivien, to meet and discuss what really happened to Margot. When the three girls gather at the meeting place, Lily is nowhere to be seen, and they receive an alarming email warning them that something has happened to Lily and that they must find a secret clue she left behind to solve the mystery.
The girls, who never connected in school circles, discover that Lily is missing, presumed a runaway, and they must cooperate to find out what happened to her, which may be connected to Margot's suspicious death, which was also not an overdose but a murder! They dig through secret societies of elites who can control the police. How can a shy wallflower like April, a know-it-all, A-grade student like Piper, and Vivien with her terrible secret fight these powerful enemies when their entire lives, secrets, and loved ones are at terrible risk?
Continue to read to find out!
Overall, this is a well-executed, smart, moving mystery with eccentric NOLA settings that perfectly match the entire settlement! I highly recommend reading it, especially for the smart twists that are perfectly mind-blowing!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. I really wanted to like this. It gave pretty little liars vibes there for a minute, and I LOVE pretty little liars, which makes it even more of a bummer that I didn't enjoy this. It had the making of a great YA book. A complicated group of friends, murder, mystery, a little bit of romance, parental drama, but I just wasn't satisfied with the way everything was ultimately written. The story ended up being really predictable, and the last quarter felt really rushed to me. I don't think the book needed to be any longer necessarily but I think the first bit could've been condensed more to allow for a more drug out ending. I didn't hate it, it was an easy read and a nice break from some heavier stuff I've been reading lately. I just wish it gave a bit more.

“The debutantes” is set amongst the Elite of New Orleans. A group of characters who attend Beauford school and are preparing for the debutante ball.
Lily is the queen of the ball this year, however after a fight with her boyfriend she ends up going missing. Could this have any correlation to last years queen. Margot’, and her death the year prior?
After receiving suspicious emails from “Lily” her friends aren’t convinced she “ran away” (it’s giving pretty little liars and A vibes).
Everyone’s got secrets to keep and the girls are at a race against the clock to figure out who is communicating with them before everything comes crashing down.

ARC for review. To be published October 29, 2024.
Debs in New Orleans! But the book is YA, so temper your expectations.
Last year there was a dead queen of the Les Masques ball. She was a wild one, though, nothing like this year’s perfect girl, Queen Lily LeBlanc.
But then the ball is invaded by a mysterious jester and Lily seeks help from her best friend, Vivian, her boyfriend’s sister Piper and her frenemy, April. They set a meeting but Lily disappears. What happened to her? Will there be another dead debutante?
Well, actually, it doesn’t seem like a lot of people care very much, to be honest, and if you are a grown person you probably won’t either; this is YA for YAs, for sure. I kept getting Piper and Vivian confused, which was pretty bad since there were really only three main characters. Young teens may like it, as a nice bit of fluff.

For New Orleans elite, the Les Masques Ball is the event of the season. However, some of the new maids are still grieving over last year's queen, Margot Landry, who was found dead from an overdose after the ball. When this year's ball is vandalized with pictures of Margot and red paint thrown on the newest queen, Lily LeBlanc, some think it is a cruel prank by a mysterious jester. When Lily goes missing the next morning after sending a text to her friends saying that she wants to talk about what happened to Margot. April, Vivian and Piper are determined to find out what happened to Lily. When the Jester threatens to expose their own secrets, the three girls must decide how far they will go to find their queen.
This was a fast-paced thriller that shows the dark and mysterious side of secret societies and the debutante world. I really enjoyed the different point-of views of the characters as they try to find Lily and what truly happened to Margot the night of the ball. This book had so many twists and turns that I was truly surprised by the ending.
If you are looking for mystery/ thriller that is more on the young adult side. I would highly recommend this book.
The Debutantes comes out October 29th.

this was pretty good but a bit predictable like i read the first few chapters and basically predicted some of the most major plot points already. i also kinda skimmed some parts because i just wasn’t that interested, not gonna lie.
however, i always love the debutante concept in books ! & thank you so much to netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book !

So, at its heart, this is kind of standard YA. It’s the setting that makes this different!
The author clearly knows New Orleans – not just the touristy places, but the society and history. The Krewes are the ultimate in rich people not-so-secret societies and I love what the author does with them.
I liked our girls.
I’ll be honest, it did take me a little bit before their voices became strong enough that I could tell them apart, but once I could, they won my heart.
It’s a fun and fast read!

This book is a fascinating look at privilege and class as Lily is crowned Queen of Les Masques Ball, a yearly tradition that the entire community attends. But unexpected events occur that send attendees fleeing and the crowd into chaos. And suddenly we also learn about The Den and a "secret gentleman's club" that seems sinister in its "members only" inclusion and "Royal Feasts." Told from several of the girls' perspectives, the novel focusses on the earlier death of Margot and the sudden disappearance of Lily. As Lily's friends rally to figure out if she's just run away or is in danger, we witness the dark underbelly of this gentleman's club and its rituals and exclusivity. It's dark and chilling as we see no one is immune to ridicule, torture, and threats that keep people quiet in the face of exposure!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

3.5-3.7 stars.
This book is set in New Orleans in late December/early January, right at the end of deb season and the beginning of Carnival. It is told from three different perspectives, those of Piper, Vivian, and April, three debutante "Maids" who get tangled up in the mystery of two debutante queens, Margot (who died mysteriously the year before) and their fellow deb Lily, who goes missing the night of their ball.
I'm really struggling with what to rate this book, because there are so many elements that I love and yet also some things that I had a hard time with. For one, I love the setting! I can feel New Orleans in this piece and I enjoyed that a lot, especially as someone who loves the city. I also really like the way that all of the characters, even Margot, express their feelings about New Orleans, whether they love it or loathe it, because that element really helped me to understand the characters. I learned a lot about Mardi Gras culture and Krewes, as well as a lot about Mardi Gras debutante culture, which I had no idea about, so it was interesting (and at times, unsettling, though I'm sure that's the point). I enjoyed this setting as the back drop for the mystery and thought it was the perfect combination of serious, fun, interesting, and spooky. I think this setting choice also allowed the author to discuss important topics such as the toxic elements of debutante culture, toxic masculinity, and feminism (especially how women are exploited or forced to operate within environments like the Krewe of Deus and debutante culture). I also liked the three main characters and enjoyed getting to know them and watching and their friendship grow.
But, I did struggle at times to understand the characters. I felt as though there weren't many details grounding them, especially Vivian, who felt less well-rounded than the other two and less like a true individual. I also thought that the author struggled with side characters. For example, we meet the parents of all three debs early on, but only Piper's come to play a significant role, which is confusing. Or Savannah or Aiden, who are really interesting side characters, but who aren't very well-rounded and aren't mentioned enough, except for when they need to move the plot forward or make one of the main three seem more interesting, which was a bit hard to follow. It also seems that some plot elements didn't quite line up, and I struggled to follow some details. There were just many small contradictory details that did not seem all the way thought out, given the way that the mystery resolved itself. I also felt a little bit unsatisfied with the ending, given that nothing really changes with the toxic culture of the Krewe of Deus after everything that the three FMCs go through in order to expose the corruption and misogyny at the heart of the organization, even though the Pierrot is destroyed.
All of that said, this book fits in so well with other YA mysteries, like Karen McManus or Jessica Goodman, and I did really enjoy it! The mystery is taut and compelling and the setting was so eerie and vivid!

The Debutantes is a super fun YA thriller! If you love Holly Jackson & other YA thriller authors you’d love this! The plot had me engaged from the first few pages and the vibes felt like Pretty Little Liars — perfect for autumn.
The New Orleans setting is so intriguing and the debutante culture is described so well (it’s not as crazy in TN but it felt pretty accurate). Thrillers in the south just hit different.
The ending was a tiny bit predictable for me, yet I thought it was well done and there were a lot of twists & turns that kept me excited to read more. The characters weren’t super unique, but I still super invested in the story.

Love the cover and the writing style.
Lots of disturbing things occurring here. Didn't like any of the characters, but the story kept me reading, lots of twist, some predictable.

4.25 ⭐️
This book was like Pretty Little Liars for girlies who read Holly Jackson, and I absolutely ate it up!
My only critique is that I wish the romances weren’t so glossed over, but it made sense since there was so much going on plot-wise.
Overall, the twists and turns were so juicy that I did stay up until 2am to finish it because I could not put it down & I am so grateful for NetGalley for providing me with this arc!!

You really don't know who to trust.
The Debutantes is a slippery who done it. It's a quick enough read, but (as usual for me) I did not enjoy the multiple POVs. The alternating POVs made the story a tad confusing at times and dragged the plot out. The characters collided into each other, not one having a discerning tone or voice. There was a lot of dialogue, and because of that, the writing seemed rather plain. Overall, an average read.
Thank you to Goodreads for offering this title in their giveaways. The opinions expressed are entirely my own.

An immaculate thriller set in New Orleans with debutantes, murder, and pure mayhem.
The Debutantes follow three girls as they enter the social event of the season: The Les Masques Ball. But after a debutante was found dead the morning after last year’s ball, things are a little tense. Except this year, Lily is the Queen and a perfect debutante. The night is perfect, until the ball is hijacked by someone in a Jester costume. After the ruined ball, April, Vivian, and Piper all receive a text from Lily to meet her the next morning. Except, Lily never shows, and the debutantes believe something bad must have happened to her. When the girls start investigating, they uncover a dark, sinister underworld of debutante society, one capable of murder. As the Jester threatens to expose their secrets if they don’t stop digging, the girls have to work harder to expose the monster in New Orleans before another debutante winds up dead.
This book has immaculate vibes! I’ve always loved a New Orleans setting, but after going last summer, I adore it even more. There’s something very unique and electric about New Orleans, and this book encapsulates it perfectly. I loved learning more about the debutante society and the crazy twists that happened. The author crafted a really unique, fascinating, and fast-paced thriller that you’ll have the time of reading. The twist was excellent and the last fifty pages had me frantic to read and see how it ended.
I loved our trio of main characters. Each girl felt very distinct and had their own motivations and goals. I liked how different they were, yet how they came together to investigate and protect one another. And the secrets each held was really interesting. They're all flawed, realistic characters, and I loved reading from their perspectives. They were all so clever and brave, watching them investigate was so fun and stressful. I really loved all of their arcs and how their friendship developed.

Overall, if you love books set in New Orleans, debutantes, and murder mysteries, you’ll love this book!

Secret Society, Death, Betrayal, Twists and Turns are what you will find within this book.
This book for sure read in the same vein as Pretty Little Liars. A group of girls are shook when a local girl goes missing after a prank during a debutant ball. They are left trying to find out what happened to the missing girl but are warned about digging by an anonymous source from a secret society.
I will say that this book was a pretty solid read. Over looking the familiarities with pretty little liars, it for sure was a book that had some good twist and turns. And I for sure was entertained by this book. In terms of character development, it kind of fell in the middle. A couple of the girls kind of fell into basic stereotypes but we’re engaging enough to keep me interested in the story. That twist at the end was for sure that I didn’t see coming.
Overall, about a 3.5 star read.
Would I Recommend this book? Yes and no. Yes in the sense that if you enjoyed pretty little liars, you would enjoy this one.
No, in the sense that it’s not booked that really sticks out and will probably be forgotten within a month.
Thanks to the folks at NetGalley for a copy of this book. My review is a honest reflection of my feelings towards this book.

My only problem was that it's too many POV'S, and I was getting some of the female characters confused.
The Debutantes is this taut, twisty YA thriller set in the glittering world of Mardi Gras in New Orleans, where secrets—and bodies—never stay buried.

A New Orleans thriller! Margot was last year's Les Masques Ball Queen, but her death immediately after the ball didn't seem to stop the festivities. Her closest friends however, are still in mourning a year later. Now some of them are in the newest group of maids and the queen and are completely shocked when the pre-ball event is ruined by an interloper throwing red paint and sharing photos are Margot. Not long after, the new Queen disappears. The young women have no choice but to band together to try and find out what happened to Margot and and in enough time to save missing Lily LeBlanc.
The best part of this novel is that New Orleans is more than a setting and is it's own character in it's flavors, colors and culture. I love that Olivia Worley provides a story without pulling any punches. You will be completely captivated by this tale. It's not too YA but additionally not graphic.
thank you Netgalley!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.
This was a fun and fast-paced YA Thriller. I was excited to be accepted to read this book because I had read Olivia Worley's 2023 novel. This book gave me major Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars vibes. Some parts of the book were slightly confusing to me, but I think the plot of this book was slightly complicated. It was also hard for me to relate to some of the girl's actions, because it has been almost 10 years since I was a teenager, but this book kept me on the edge of my seat. I would definitely read a third book by Olivia Worley in the future!

I haven’t read a lot of YA recently but this was a good one! I am so glad I got to read the ARC because this is a book I might have to run out and buy when it is released. It was such a quick and easy read but most importantly it was an entertaining one. The setting of this book is fantastic and the characters are all so likable. This book will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat and leave you not wanting to put it down (I didn’t)!
If you are a fan of One of Us Is Lying, I think you will really like this book. The vibes are similar and the storytelling is really similar. You are able to get to know the characters and see how the problem they are facing is affecting them individually and as a group. It is definitely a YA book but I think this can appeal to other people not typically in the demographic.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC of this YA thriller!! Set in New Orleans in the world of tradition and secrets, it’s up to a group of debutantes to investigate one of their own going missing.
I really enjoyed this book! I loved how the city of New Orleans was like its own character with how the weather, architecture, and history was mixed into the plot. It gave me Holly Jackson and Pretty Little Liars vibes with a group of badass girls exposing secrets in a closed off world of rich tradition and ancient ideas.
Highly recommend for lovers of YA mysteries and thrillers!

I did not think I was going to love this book as much as I did considering I had no clue about any of the debutante stuff which is heavy in this book, of course but I actually ate this up. It was so thrilling and fun and I love a good ya thriller/mystery. This had majorrrrr pretty little liars vibes and I was living for it! Al thought I had to google some stuff about debutante balls it’s not something that’s really necessary, I was just intrigued by that whole aspect and now need to read more stuff like this!! Definitely recommend this book! Thank you to NetGalley for sending me an arc!

Merci à Netgalley et St. Martin’s Publishing Group pour l'envoi de ce service de presse 😁
3.5
Début assez classique où trois filles, qui ne se ressemblent en rien, se regroupent pour rechercher la disparue. Quelques twist intéressants que je n'ai pas vu venir, d'autres beaucoup trop tirer par les cheveux.
.5 pour la fin de l'histoire ! Je me serais jamais douter...

I would like to thank netgalley for letting me read this great book. enjoyed this book. I liked how each character told their part of the story. It reminds me of Pretty little liars. I thought this was unique story about Debutantes and socialites. I think everyone can relate to one of the characters in the book. I highly recommend this book. I was hooked from the first page and could not put this book down.

Olivia Worley does it again with another great contemporary mystery! I was on the edge of my seat for this read, eagerly wanting to both know more about this elite world but also solve the mystery. I liked that Worley kept adding twists all the way through, so this book never felt predictable or boring.

My Summary:
A group of girls uncovers cult-like activity in their pursuit to find a missing friend in New Orleans, LA. Dismantling a cult seems like an easy task, because cults are wrong…but what if your entire life is enmeshed within the cult..and what if finding out the truth brings out truths you’d rather keep buried?
My Review:
This was a fun YA book to read! I’d recommend it to anyone 16+. This book includes implied SA, drug use, murder, and LGBTQIA+ themes. I think anyone 16+ should be able to read this because these are all things they will probably experience or talk about during this time in their life and beyond. I loved getting to see each of the girls’ perspectives and personalities come out. I loved the diversity or lack-thereof mentioned throughout the story. I did feel at times that it got kind of preachy, but I think the author was trying to drive the point home that this particular circle in NOLA (debutantes, balls, secret gentlemen’s clubs) are NOT it. It was a quick and easy read!
You’ll like this if you like:

Book:
THE DEBUTANTES by Olivia Worley
Thank you Wednesday Books and Netgalley for the e-arc---Out October 29
Revieew:
5⭐
I read PEOPLE TO FOLLOW by Olivia Worley last year, and I knew that I wanted---scratch that, needed---to read THE DEBUTANTES. The cover first drew me in with the bl**dy gloves, and after reading the synopsis, I knew it was exactly a mystery for me.
THE DEBUTANTES follows Vivian, Piper, and April as the embark on a journey to figure out what happened to their friends. The first few chapters got me hooked from the drama filled mystery to the tense scenes. I kept guessing, everything from what happened to Margot, the disappearance of Lily, and the Jester. I would describe this as a page-turning, nail-biter. The closer I got to the end, the mystery unravelling at the seams, the more I felt like I was closer to the truth, but I was so far away. The DEBUTANTES was a gripping read that I devoured: everything from the never-ending secrets to the cult-like behavior of the maids, deus', kings, queens, etc. This book is a must-read.
What I Liked About It:
*the drama
*the secrets
*the tense scenes
*the multi-pov

I’m going to start with what I liked about this book-New Orleans and the culture surrounding debutantes and what it’s like to live that life. It was fascinating to learn about, as was the disturbing toxic masculinity that plays a large role in this story. I also really liked some of the characters. I appreciated Margot and April for their unwillingness to give up and conform to lives that they don’t want and I liked Piper for her intelligence. I was invested in them as characters.
Now for the parts I didn’t like so much. Not all of the characters were fleshed out enough for me to root for. I wish more had been done with Vivian and what made her tick. She’s a main character who is keeping a huge secret from her best friend and I didn’t feel like she felt very guilty about it at all.
I was also a bit confused about why Lily acted the way she did while missing-it seemed a bit of a stretch. I also thought that there were other characters who could’ve been developed more. Aiden, Lily, Savannah and Piper’s mom were people I would have liked to know more about as supporting characters.
Overall, I think this is a novel that people who like YA thrillers and mysteries will devour. It’s easy to get lost in the plot and the setting and just enjoy the ride.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with the advanced copy to read.

The Debutantes dives you straight into the New Orleans high society. With last years debutante queen dead and this years is now missing, you follow four different POVs of the girls -- all of whom have something to hide.
This book was such a fast and easy read that I could not put it down and devoured the entire thing in one day. Every time I put it down to take a break, I kept thinking back to the story and had to go back to finish it. I knew nothing about the world of a debutante, which was already fascinating but with the mystery intertwined along with some twists & turns it was a great read.
I will say that early on I did end up predicting a certain plot twist, which was the only disappointing thing for me. I love it when I might think one thing will happen, but then something completely different does. So being able to predict a major twist was a bit of a negative for my experience reading. Overall though, I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend to anyone who loves a good YA mystery/thriller.

The book is centered around the wealthy in New Orleans. These “elite” are part of the Krewe that put on a float at Mardi Gras and also have a maid Debutante ball for the girls. Not all of the kids go to school together (stretched among a few private schools in NOLA) but the main characters belong to a small school called Beauford.
A year ago, Margot (a maid) is said to have killed herself. Her friends have been heartbroken (and extremely surprised by the loss). Unfortunately, as with many wealthy circles, things went back to normal very quickly. It’s now about a year later, where Lily Thompson is now the Queen of the debutante ball (Margot was the year before), and an unknown “Jester” at the ball throws red paint all over Lily, ruining the event. Soon after, Lily gets into a huge fight with her boyfriend (who was supposed to drive her home), and she disappears.
Her friends (Vivian, Piper, April) all receive some odd texts and emails “from Lily” and they soon find out that Lily didn’t make it home the night before. The police report that Lily has run away from home, but her friends aren’t totally convinced.
Can the girls figure out what is going on without ruining their future plans and keeping themselves alive?
