A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is struggling with the boundaries of digital privacy or the psychological toll of a curated online life. It is an ideal conversation starter for families where social media presence feels performative or invasive. The story follows Connie, a teen whose life has been broadcast by her influencer mother since birth. When a serial killer begins targeting girls who resemble Connie, the narrative shifts from a critique of 'sharenting' into a high-stakes survival thriller. Through Connie's eyes, readers explore the resentment that builds when a child's autonomy is sacrificed for clicks. While the suspense is intense, the emotional core deals with reclaiming one's identity from the digital void and the terrifying reality of parasocial relationships. It is a gripping, cautionary tale for the smartphone generation.
