A thrilling and intoxicating cat-and-mouse thriller about envy, revenge and the price of perfection, from the acclaimed author of THE GOLDENS.

It should have been her …

For reluctant online sensation Crystal, university is her chance to escape the clutches of her controlling vlogger family. She finally has evidence to destroy her mother's picture-perfect online image. What she needs now is someone she can trust to help her expose the truth and burn it all down.

Crystal opens up to Alyssa, a fellow journalism student, and the two begin to form a friendship. But Alyssa is a secret superfan of Crystal’s family’s vlog – with an agenda of her own. Alyssa isn’t ready to say goodbye to her perfect surrogate family just yet … and she’ll do anything to be welcomed into the fold.
