A picture-perfect trip goes horribly wrong in this fast-paced
exploration of friendship and the dark side of social media, perfect for
fans of Lucy Foley and Andrea Bartz.
Everyone wants to be them, but internet fame comes at a price...
Two days after arriving in Iceland for a promotional trip, Instagram
influencer Alabama Wood goes missing. With no leads, the Icelandic
police start their investigation by focusing on the two influencers
seemingly closest to Alabama on the trip: Celeste Reed, Alabama's best
friend of ten years, and Hollie Goodwin, fitness guru and Alabama's
unwilling idol.
Celeste and Alabama have grown apart recently because Celeste has been
too distracted by her five-year-old's behavioral issues and her
husband's refusal to admit that there's a problem. What Celeste doesn't
tell them is how she has been coping with these worries and how it
involves Alabama in ways no one would guess.
On the outside, Hollie appears to have everything--the husband, the
body, and over one million Instagram followers. In reality, however,
Hollie came to Iceland to escape the implosion of her life behind the
screen. The only person who suspected something amiss behind Hollie's
precisely filtered pictures is Alabama.
As secrets are revealed and loyalties are tested, debut author Nicole
Hackett asks: do we control our online image, or does it control us?
