Confidence : a novel / Rafael Frumkin.
"At seventeen, Ezra Green doesn't have a lot going for him: he's shorter than average, snaggle-toothed, internet-addicted, and halfway to being legally blind. He's also on his way to Last Chance Camp, the final stop before juvie. But Ezra's summer at Last Chance turns life-changing when he meets Orson, brilliant and Adonis-like with a mind for hustling. Together, the two embark upon what promises to be a fruitful career of scam artistry. But when they try to pull off their biggest scam yet--Nulife, a corporation that promises its consumers a lifetime of bliss--things start to spin wildly out of control."--Publisher marketing.

Best friends (and occasional lovers) Ezra and Orson are teetering on top of the world after founding a company that promises instant enlightenment in this âpropulsive, cheeky, eat-the-rich page-turnerâ (The Washington Post) about scams, schemes, and the absurdity of the American Dream.
At seventeen, Ezra Green doesnât have a lot going on for him: heâs shorter than average, snaggle-toothed, internet-addicted, and halfway to being legally blind. Heâs also on his way to Last Chance Camp, the final stop before juvie.
But Ezraâs summer at Last Chance turns life-changing when he meets Orson, brilliant and Adonis-like with a mind for hustling.

But things start to spin wildly out of control when they try to pull off their biggest scam yetâNulife, a corporation that promises its consumers a lifetime of bliss.
âPropulsiveâ (The New York Times Book Review) and âlaugh-out-loud funnyâ (BuzzFeed), with the suspense of The Talented Mr. Ripley, the decadence of The Great Gatsby, and the wit of Succession, Confidence is a story for anyone who knows that the American Dream is just another pyramid scheme.
