I may or may not have stayed up until 1 am finishing this book... sue me (please don't)
my thoughts
Sara Shepard is probably my favorite author and once again she hasn't disappointed.
There were so many small details that I easily skipped over, but then realize how important it all was later, everything was just so well thought out.
I looooooved all the secrets justpouring out,and there were definitely some juicy ones ğŸ¤
I loved the way this book was written, how we got transcripts from Scarlet's vlogs and multiple POV's.
my views of social media have definitely changed after reading this, its honestly scary how many lies are told through social media, how obsessive we can get and how controlling/influencingpeople are without you even realizing it. it makes you question everything you know about people you watch or follow all the time.
the characters
DELILAH ROLLINS
I really thought I wasn't going to like Delilah because she kind of reminded me of a character from another book by the same author and I don't really like her, but I actually didn't mind her.
I love how even though she was new to being an influencer, she never really lost herself. She's such a strong character who I just was rooting for the whole time.
Her relationship with Jack was too cute, a little toxic at times, but still so cute.
JASMINE WALTER-DIAZ
I LOVED her, absolutely LOVED her.
She is a character with so much baggage that even though I didn't necessarily relate to her specific problems, you can still relate to the way she handles and reacts to everything.
FIONA JACOBS
Fiona was probably one of the most interesting characters I've ever read about. I loved how we were able to follow her thought process with her OCD and all the past traumas she has and just watching her process everything happening was really cool to read.
SCARLET LEIGH
Scarlet, Scarlet, Scarlet... what is there to say about this girl? she is the definitions of drama oml
I loved how all her POV's were transcript from her live vlogs. the way she orchestrates everything and keeps the image of having everything under control just makes you question if everything about her is real.
I really loved her character development and she deserved better <33
the ending
I loved the little investigation team that formed in the end trying to solve the mystery.
The ending... THE. ENDING. OMG, NO. WORDS. the way its solved but leaves you with so many questions is just breathtaking.
Overall, amazing book with amazing characters and an amazing plot with amazing plot twists. So in short, amazing.

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.

the characters
DELILAH ROLLINS
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.
I really thought I wasn't going to like Delilah because she kind of reminded me of a character from another book by the same author and I don't really like her, but I actually didn't mind her.
I love how even though she was new to being an influencer, she never really lost herself. She's such a strong character who I just was rooting for the whole time.
Her relationship with Jack was too cute, a little toxic at times, but still so cute.
JASMINE WALTER-DIAZ
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.
I LOVED her, absolutely LOVED her.
She is a character with so much baggage that even though I didn't necessarily relate to her specific problems, you can still relate to the way she handles and reacts to everything.
FIONA JACOBS
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.
Fiona was probably one of the most interesting characters I've ever read about. I loved how we were able to follow her thought process with her OCD and all the past traumas she has and just watching her process everything happening was really cool to read.
SCARLET LEIGH
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?
