Meredith Lee and Aspen Palmer are mom-fluencers, or internet influencers/ semi-famous moms on the internet who make videos on Instagram and TikTok to show their followers how easy it is to be a mom and have it all. They’re also former best friends. Meredith discovered Aspen during her YouTuber days, and helped her get big, only to be ditched when Aspen surpassed Meredith’s numbers.

Then one day, Meredith sees an opportunity and takes it – she swipes Aspen’s daughter’s iPad – a gold mine of videos of Aspen faking it behind the scenes, showing that she doesn’t actually have it all together, as well as access to her social calendar, which Meredith quickly messes with.

As Aspen’s perfect life falls apart, Meredith begins to feel in control, but is “having it all” all it’s cracked up to be?

Diana lived in the small town of Fairhill, Vermont. That is, until she was murdered and her body was dumped in a cornfield, and everyone and their mother becomes a suspect. This book was propulsive, I’ll give the author that, but there were way too many characters to keep track of, and it became too much in the end. I loved Lapena’s last one, Everyone Here Is Lying, but this one just didn’t do it for me. I am a Lapena completist, though, so I will read anything she writes.
