You Will Never Be Me

By Jesse Q. Sutanto

Book Overview

When cracks start forming in an influencer's curated life, she finds out that jealousy is just as viral as a video in this riveting suspense novel by bestselling author Jesse Q. Sutanto.

Influencer Meredith Lee didn't teach Aspen Palmer how to blossom on social media just to be ditched as soon as Aspen became big. So can anyone really blame Mer for doing a little stalking? Nothing serious, more like Stalking Lite. Then, Mer gets lucky; she finds one of Aspen's kids' iPads and swipes it. Now, she has access to everything: the family calendar and Aspen's social media accounts. Would anyone else be able to resist tweaking things a little here and there, showing up in Aspen's place for meetings with potential sponsors? Mer's only taking back what she deserves--what should have been hers.

Meanwhile, Aspen doesn't understand why her perfectly filtered life is falling apart. Sponsors are dropping her, fellow influencers are ghosting her, and even her own husband seems to find her repulsive. If she doesn't find out who's behind everything, she might just lose it all. What everyone seems to forget is that Aspen didn't become one of TikTok's biggest momfluencers by being naive. When Meredith suddenly goes missing, Aspen's world is upended and mysterious threats begin to arrive--but she won't let anything get in the way of her perfect life again.

Another great thriller by Jesse Q Sutanto

Jesse Sutanto hit this one out of the park! This is a great thriller! It’s very similar to I’m Not Done With You Yet, but also very different. This book focuses on influencer culture, which I absolutely hate along with influencers. It also shines light on the subtle racism and colorism rampant in LA (especially influencer community), and the not so subtle fat phobia that is ubiquitous in Los Angeles. There really is no hero in the story which is kind of what makes it so great. Everyone is flawed. Meredith is the crazy, jealous friend who got left behind. Aspen is the social media and follower count crazy Momfluencer. Liz is the obsessed stan, who stalks Aspen. And then there’s Ben, who is the typical mediocre white man who needs to be needed in the relationship in order to feel like a man and can’t stand the fact that his wife out earns him with what he feels is an illegitimate job. This had me on the edge of my seat and gobbling it up the entire time. I did not want to stop reading it at all. There are a lot of little twists that I didn’t see coming. Even the murder didn’t happen at the point I expected it to. Overall, it was an excellent read that I will definitely be recommending to friends!
