Such a Bad Influence
by Muenter, Olivia
Such a Bad Influence peels back the glossy veneer of the influencer economy to examine what happens when the digital and physical worlds collide in the most toxic way possible.

The pacing is tight and claustrophobic, mirroring the suffocating pressure of trying to maintain a perfect online image while your real life crumbles. This is for the reader who enjoys psychological thrillers that prioritize character study over cheap scares. If you have ever wondered about the dark, performative reality behind a curated feed or enjoy stories about how far someone will go to protect a secret, this book will keep you hooked.
