If you’ve ever hate-scrolled someone’s account on social media, try this trad wife thriller with sharp commentary on influencers.

Bex and Lizzie were best friends, until Bex suddenly ghosted her. Years later, Bex resurfaces as a trad wife influencer with six kids and a farm—but her life is darker than it seems. Bex’s husband is found murdered, and then Bex disappears. Did she do it? Lizzie must race to find answers or else lose her friend again—this time forever.

I’d like to think of this book as Love Island meets The Hunger Games, as the story is compelling as reality TV. In a dystopian near future, contestants living in a televised desert compound can complete tasks to win fabulous prizes.

There’s a catch: They must be romantically coupled or else get sent home, and the prizes get bigger as the tasks get more violent. How far will beautiful but desperate people go to be the last one standing?
