Live Your Best Lie - Like Me Block You by Jessie Weaver Hardcover

About the Book

"When four teens discover the dead body of influencer Summer Cartwright, they must piece together the truth behind her online persona to find out who killed her"--

Book Synopsis

Sometimes the prettiest Instagram feeds mask the darkest--and bloodiest--secrets.

Social media influencer Summer Cartwright leads a charmed life: millions of followers, the trendiest designer and vintage clothes, a newly minted book deal, the coolest friends, and, until recently, the hottest boyfriend at her über-elite prep school. Every moment of her life has been carefully planned and cultivated to complement her "imperfectly perfect" online persona. She is truly #LivingHerBestLife.

But when Summer goes missing during her annual Halloween party and then an unscheduled post appears on her feed stating that she'll be dead within the next five minutes, those closest to Summer--her bestie, her ex-boyfriend, her frenemy, and her wannabe--know it isn't a media stunt for attention. It's not Summer's brand. Something is wrong. When their investigation leads to Summer's lifeless body, they're forced to accept that she was murdered. And no filter is strong enough to mask the lies they tell themselves.

Told in multiple POVs interspersed with social media posts and flashbacks, Live Your Best Lie has twists and turns that will keep readers enthralled. You'll never guess the ending.

Review Quotes

A debut that keeps throwing curveballs with lies to piece together and mysteries to unravel.--Kirkus

Debut author Weaver clearly knows how to dole out clues and secrets at a perfect pace to keep readers hooked. While the ending thoroughly satisfies, more is promised to come in this continuing series. A must-read for those who love well-crafted whodunits, true crime, and juicy secrets.--School and Library journal

I could not put down Jessie Weaver's timely, hilarious, thrilling read--twisty and snarky in all the best ways, like One of us is Lying meets Gossip Girl! Pack your beach bags with this Instagram-ready beauty and get ready to live your best lie online!--Melissa De La Cruz, New York Times bestselling author

Weaver expertly crafts a serpentine plot that moves without tarrying from one suspect to the next. Rapid-fire, wickedly biting dialogue and an almost suffocating air of uncertainty and stratagem cultivate a gossipy debut, which capitalizes on present-day social media obsession and one's ability to take control of their own narrative.--Publisher's Weekly
