Addictive.  Gritty.  Shocking.

I fell hard for the fun, outrageous, and heartwarming storytelling by Sutanto in Vera Wong and the Aunties.  But who knew she had it in her to go dark and sinister too?  

Well, now I do.  And... I’m a fan.  

When a best friend turns into an enemy... and one that is adept at manipulating a scene... deception and jealousy take on even higher stakes.

This fast-paced storyline was a total binge for me!  I couldn’t get enough.  I had to know what was happening next.  

The plot was completely unhinged, and the characters were immensely unlikeable (in the best way).  Sutanto’s writing held me captive from beginning to end, and I finished this read in a mere 2 (busy) days.  

Those twists.  The sinister motives.  That ending!  So drama filled.  So deliciously dark!

Within the wild narrative, Sutanto shines a light on the negative aspects of social media, questioning true authenticity.  I appreciated how her use of dark humor kept the messaging witty and thoughtful rather than becoming biting satire.    

Out of all the influencer-based storylines I’ve read, this one is a standout and a favorite. And now, I’m even more of a fan of Sutanto’s writing- whether cozy or thrilling.   

🎧 I was so absorbed by this book that I had to be able to listen while on the go.  With dual narration by Eunice Wong and Risa Mei (both have narrated other Sutanto works), both characters were vibrantly depicted.  The audiobook brought validity to the complicated emotions between the former friends and heightened the sense of tension as the twists unfolded.
