This debut is the perfect cocktail of glamour and menace.
Initially, the concept of a bitter sister taking over her deceased twin influencer's meticulously crafted life, filled with dark secrets lurking beneath glossy surfaces piqued my interest.
However, I quickly recognized it as a thriller that exploits influencer culture instead of merely using it as backdrop. The fast pace and high stakes create a blend of rising tension and moral rot in privileged spaces, that kept me hooked until the very last second.
