Book description
Imagine your twin dies... and you inherit her entire life. That's the dizzying, delicious premise of Liann Zhang's Julie Chan is Dead-and it's pure, addictive audio gold. The moment Julie unlocks her dead sister Chloe's phone, she's not calling 911. She's logging into Chloe's influencer empire, her followers, her wealth, her life. And she's not giving it back.
What makes this audiobook unforgettable? The narrator's voice-sharp, witty, and utterly unapologetic-pulls you straight into Julie's high-stakes deception. You hear every heartbeat as she navigates the glossy, toxic world of the Belladonnas, curating flawless feeds, filming unboxing videos, and praying no one notices the tiny cracks in her new identity. The pacing is relentless, a propulsive thrill ride that makes you gasp during late-night listens (yes, I stayed up way past midnight too).
The blurbs aren't exaggerating: it's "diabolically fun" (Monika Kim), "dark and twisted" (Red), and "edgy, vicious" (Amber Cowie). Zhang masterfully dissects social media obsession, the fragility of identity, and the terrifying allure of someone else's perfect life. You'll find yourself laughing at Julie's audacity while simultaneously screaming, "Don't do that!" The tension is real-every time a follower comments, every time a Belladonna asks a question, you're holding your breath.
And the audiobook? It's made for this story. The narrator's effortless shift between Julie's internal panic and the glossy, performative tone of Chloe's online persona is genius. You don't just read about the world; you feel it-the filtered perfection, the lurking dread, the way a single missed detail could unravel everything.
This isn't just a thriller-it's a mirror held up to our own online lives, wrapped in a story so gripping you'll forget to breathe. As Sunday Times called it: "a layered examination of social media, status, and obsession." And honestly? You'll devour it in one sitting. Trust me: once you hear Julie's voice whisper, "Goodbye Julie, love Chloe x," you'll be hooked. This is the audiobook you'll recommend to everyone-and then beg them to listen to immediately.
