Reviews
Engrossing and diabolically fun. Zhang's wonderful debut made me cringe, laugh, and cover my eyes. I was hooked until the very last page -- Monika Kim, author of Sunday Times bestselling The Eyes are the Best Part I devoured this sharp and wickedly funny novel about the intoxicating and corruptive promise of love and connection telegraphed by influencers. With prose that crackles off the page, Liann Zhang skewers our brave new world where everything and anything is leveraged for likes -- Ling Ling Huang, author of Natural Beauty As mesmerizing as it is grotesque, Julie Chan is Dead exposes the rotten insides of the influencer industry with sharp insight and dark humour. It perfectly captures the absurdity of our permanently online modern age -- Sophie Wan, author of Women of Good Fortune Clever, insightful, and biting, Julie Chan is Dead, with its searing look at the influencer industry, lightning fast plot and unhinged cast of characters, is the definition of a read-in-one-sitting thriller. Chilling and immersive, this one is sure to leave a mark -- Ashley Tate, author of Twenty-Seven Minutes
