ONE POST TURNED HER INTO AN INFLUENCER...AND A LIAR

Chlo?Warner knows the grass isn't always greener-especially online, where it's often just fake.

But when her idol, the glamorous influencer Birdie Bay, moves in across the street, Chlo?can't resist getting close. One "accidental" encounter later, the illusion shatters-Chlo?catches Birdie in a compromising moment and, unable to resist, exposes her secret on social media under a new alias: FauxEver.

The post goes viral. Chlo?tastes her first rush of fame.

But as she dives deeper into Birdie's glittering world, the line between envy and admiration blurs. Against all odds, a bond forms between them-one that could almost be called friendship, were it not for Birdie's unawareness that Chlo?is the one who ruined her.

Pulled into a universe of filters, influence, and lies, Chlo?begins sacrificing pieces of herself to keep FauxEver alive. But when a new anonymous account threatens to expose her-and with it, her hard-won success-she must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the life and attention she's come to crave.
