I’m not sure why these 2 rich British Gen Z’s have hillbilly names from the 90’s, but let me tell you about Alyssa and Crystal. Alyssa has rich parents and a past. She is a fan of At Home With the Shaws, and is determined to make Crystal Shaw her bestie. Crystal is using university to get away from her influencer family. She was a part of a successful family blog for years. Her older sister died of a mysterious disease which is what made them go viral. She is tired of being in the spotlight and is angry that her childhood was on display. Soon Their paths intersect in more ways than one.
I enjoyed this suspense thriller, the main characters are 18-19 years old so it feels a little like YA. Although I enjoyed the audiobook narrator, I had a hard time distinguishing between Alyssa and Crystal as they sounded identical to me. I would have like reading with eyeballs on this one. The theme of children of influencers being used is a timely and useful narrative to explore.
