Influencer Meredith Lee didn’t teach Aspen Palmer how to blossom on social media just to be ditched as soon as Aspen became big. So can anyone really blame Mer for doing a little stalking? Nothing serious, more like Stalking Lite. Then, Mer gets lucky; she finds one of Aspen’s kids’ iPads and swipes it. Now, she has access to everything: the family calendar and Aspen’s social media accounts. Would anyone else be able to resist tweaking things a little here and there, showing up in Aspen’s place for meetings with potential sponsors? Mer’s only taking back what she deserves—what should have been hers.
Meanwhile, Aspen doesn’t understand why her perfectly filtered life is falling apart. Sponsors are dropping her, fellow influencers are ghosting her, and even her own husband seems to find her repulsive. If she doesn’t find out who’s behind everything, she might just lose it all. What everyone seems to forget is that Aspen didn’t become one of TikTok’s biggest momfluencers by being naive. When Meredith suddenly goes missing, Aspen’s world is upended and mysterious threats begin to arrive—but she won’t let anything get in the way of her perfect life again.

Jesse Q. Sutano’s stories are always such a treat!
I loved Dial A for Aunties and had a blast reading Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers with my ears. You Will Never Be Me had the same flavor of Sutano’s other books with equal parts drama and mystery as well as moments of humor that made me laugh out loud. I think this one may be my favorite!
I love a story that you can’t stop thinking about when you aren’t reading and makes you forget where you are when you are reading it. This story was that for me. I am a newish bookstagrammer and loved reading about the influencer lifestyle so much. AND from two perspectives?!? That was SO much fun!
Getting to see what life is like from Aspen and Meredith’s perspective made me do a really deep dive after reading. So many of us follow influencers. I do for pretty much everything. I love to watch how people curate their closet, cook their food, take care of their plants, how they manage their homes and families, and of course get introduced to the latest and greatest books! This story really made me think about what it must be like for them and wonder if people are being authentic.
I know as a newish bookstagrammer I am kind of feeling the pressure and I am just taking pictures of books I love! There are so many people online now trying to make a living. At what point will that change? Will it get bigger than it is somehow? Will we as a society be impacted at some point?
This book really makes you think and it's one you will not want to put down until you know what happens!
Thanks to Berkley for the book in exchange for an honest review.
