We Could Be Anyone by Anna-Marie McLemore releases on May 26, 2026 and is a YA thriller described as White Lotus meets Mexican Gothic for teens.
The story follows teen siblings Lola and Lisandro, who are con artists running elaborate scams by performing as a ghost and a spiritualist targeting wealthy elites. Their next job takes them to an exclusive estate called The Coterie, where what starts as another score quickly turns unsettling as strange and unexplainable things begin to happen. For the first time, the siblings are also forced to switch roles, which pushes both their act and their relationship to the edge.
The book centers performance, illusion, class, and survival, while also highlighting queer romance and Latinx storytelling as part of its core identity. It continues McLemore’s signature style of blending atmospheric storytelling with identity driven narratives rooted in culture, folklore, and emotional tension.
Ahead of its release, the book is already circulating in YA spaces for its genre blend of gothic suspense, con artist storytelling, and high society setting, and is one to look out for when it releases in May 2026.
