An electric psychological thriller about what happens when one of the first child stars of the social media age grows up . . . and goes missing.
A USA Today Best Seller
“A fascinating exploration of the dangers of social media told through a propulsive mystery . . . smart and timely.”—Carola Lovering, best-selling author of Tell Me Lies and Bye, Baby
​​“Wildly entertaining.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“This story is as addictive as scrolling Instagram, and marks the launch of a talented new writer.”—Ashley Winstead, best-selling author of Midnight Is the Darkest Hour
“A twisty, propulsive story of a missing influencer. . . . I was riveted the whole way through.”—Ana Reyes, New York Times bestselling author of Reese’s Book Club Pick The House in the Pines
Hazel Davis spent years distancing herself from the online empire that made her younger sister, Evie, one of the internet's biggest influencers. While millions followed every milestone of Evie's carefully curated life, Hazel chose privacy over popularity. But when Evie vanishes during a livestream, Hazel is forced back into the digital spotlight to uncover what really happened.
As internet sleuths, true crime fans, influencers, and conspiracy theorists race to solve the mystery, Hazel begins investigating the family she thought she knew. Behind perfectly edited videos, lucrative brand deals, and viral content lies a web of manipulation, exploitation, obsession, and long-buried secrets. The deeper Hazel digs into the online world that made her sister famous, the more dangerous the search becomes—and the more she realizes that someone has been profiting from the truth staying hidden.
Addictive and thought-provoking, Such a Bad Influence offers a razor- sharp commentary on influencer culture and social media. With unforgettable twists, emotionally rich characters, and razor-sharp commentary, Olivia Muenter's debut is a suspenseful page-turner for the social media age.
