Publisher Description
If you loved We Were Liars, be the first to read this twisty new mystery that dives into the world of teen influencers from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars Sara Shepard and seventeen-year-old actress and social media personality Lilia Buckingham.
After a video she makes goes viral, everyone knows Delilah Rollins. And now that she's in LA, Delilah's standing on the edge of something incredible. Everything is going to change. She has no idea how much.
Jasmine Walters-Diaz grew up in the spotlight. A child star turned media darling, the posts of her in her classic Lulu C. rainbow skirt practically break the Internet. But if the world knew who Jasmine really was, her perfect life? Canceled.
Fiona Jacobs is so funny--the kind of girl for whom a crowd parts--no wonder she's always smiling! But on the inside? The girl's a hot mess. And when someone comes out of the shadows with a secret from her past, it's one that won't just embarrass Fiona: it will ruin her.
Who wouldn't want to be Scarlet Leigh? Just look at her Instagram. Scarlet isn't just styled to perfection: she is perfection. Scarlet has a gorgeous, famous boyfriend named Jack and there's a whole fanbase about their ship. To everyone watching online, their lives seem perfect . . . but are they really? The sun is hot in California . . . and someone's going to get burned.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An up-and-coming social media influencer from Minneapolis is quickly tangled in a complicated L.A. love triangle in this glamorous thriller by Shepard (Pretty Little Liars) and actor Buckingham. Delilah Rollins, 16, is known online as "Puppy Girl," after a video of her saving a golden retriever from a burning building went viral. At her first big influencer event after moving to Los Angeles, she meets former child star Jasmine and aspiring actress and YouTuber Fiona Jacobs. Immediately hitting it off, the three bump into Scarlet Leigh whose sponsorships, fierce reputation, and splashy relationship with YouTube comedian Jack Dono render her "practically a Kardashian." But when a chance meeting between Delilah and Jack is filmed and circulated, it creates waves in the celebrity sphere. In this collaboration that mashes matters of fame with an unevenly written whodunit, Shepard's expertise in crafting and layering multiple character perspectives comes through clearly alongside Buckingham's insider's take on social media notoriety. Ages 12 up.
