For fans of Ashley Winstead, Jessica Knoll, and Jo Piazza, an electric debut thriller about what happens when one of the first child stars of the social media age grows up . . . and goes missing. Hazel Davis is drifting: shes stalled in her career, living in a city she hates, and less successful than her younger sister, @evelyn, a mega-popular lifestyle influencer. Evie came of age online, having gone viral at five years old for a heart-tugging daddy-daughter dance. Ten years older and spotlight-averse, Hazel managed to dodge the family YouTube channelso although she can barely afford her apartment, at least she made her own way. Evie is eighteen now, with a multimillion-dollar career and unlimited opportunities, but Hazel is still protective of her little sister and skeptical of the way everyone seems to want a piece of her: Evies followers, her YouTuber boyfriend and influencer frenemies, and their opportunistic mother. So when Evie disappears one dayduring an unsettling live stream that cuts out midsentenceHazel is horrified to have her worst instincts proven right. As theories about Evies disappearance tear through the internet, inspiring hashtags, Reddit threads, podcast episodes, and scorn, Hazel throws herself into the darkest parts of her sisters world to untangle the threads of truth. After all, Hazel knows Evie better than anyone else . . . doesnt she?

It has great commentary about the dangers of social media and being an influencer especially where children are concerned. But…it took so long to go anywhere, and once it did, I wasn‘t satisfied with where it went ultimately.

All the narrators gave good performances although most of the story is just a couple of them.

It's hard to believe this is Muenter's debut novel, tbh. The characters, the storyline, and the topic were all very well thought out and executed. Muenter successfully throws shade on the world of influencers, their motivations, and the motivations of those around them.
I look forward to seeing what she comes up with next.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

This is a smart, slow-burn suspense novel with juicy twists, toxic family dynamics, and a thoughtful critique of social media and influencer culture. I thought it was brilliant how formats like podcast episodes and Reddit threads were incorporated - it made it feel so current and brought the mystery to life. 🎧
