A couple of criticisms:
Firstly, the tagline on the cover ("She doesn't want your life, she wants to destroy it") is misleading. It makes it seem like this will be a thriller, but it's actually about the toxicity of social media.

Dylan is a single mum living penny to penny in a small london flat with her young son. Having fled an abusive relationship she is trying to live life in the shadows, to earn enough money to look after herself and her son, whilst keeping them safe from harm. She comes across cold and defensive from the offset until you start to learn of her past.
Dylan and Lo meet at the school gates as their children start school. Their children become the best of friends and Dylan is forced to let Lo in.
This book covers the highs and lows of being an “influencer”. It’s a real look at cancel culture. Showing how your success can be snatched away at any moment and people who you let in can take advantage and turn on you.
A quick read for me, won’t be one of my favourite reads of this year, but enjoyed it nevertheless. If you like Dawn O’Porter’s books I think this will be one for you.
