For fans of Bunny and Yellowface, this razor-sharp debut thriller blends biting satire with chilling suspense, as a young woman steps into her deceased twin’s influencer life—only to discover dark secrets hidden behind her social media façade.
Julie Chan has nothing. Her twin sister has everything—except a pulse.
Julie Chan, a supermarket cashier barely scraping by, finds herself thrust into the glamorous yet perilous world of her late twin sister, Chloe VanHuusen, a popular influencer. Separated at a young age, the identical twins were polar opposites and rarely spoke, except for one viral video that Chloe initiated (Finding My Long-Lost Twin And Buying Her A House #EMOTIONAL).
When Julie discovers Chloe’s body, she doesn’t call the police. Instead, she slips into her dead sister’s meticulously curated life: luxury fashion, high-end skincare, and a devoted online following who never noticed they weren’t quite the same.
At first, the transformation is seamless. Julie relishes the perks of influencer fame, but quickly learns that behind Chloe’s flawless feed lay secrets far darker than she imagined. Her sister’s final days were shadowed by paranoia, manipulation, and something far more sinister.
Now, trapped on a private island retreat with Chloe’s inner circle—an elite clique of influencers obsessed with status and secrecy—Julie is forced to keep up the act while being haunted by her sister’s untimely death. As events spiral out of control, Julie uncovers the sinister forces that may have led to her sister’s demise and realizes she might be the next target.
Darkly funny, fiercely paced, and full of sharp commentary on identity, fame, and the cost of visibility, Julie Chan Is Dead is a twisted thrill ride where fitting in could be fatal—and the people behind the posts are the real danger.©2025 Liann Zhang (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio

The narrator absolutely nailed this audiobook. She gave every character a distinct voice, tone, and energy. It didn’t just feel like someone reading to me—it felt like I was watching a movie in my mind. I could see the characters, feel their shifts, and even anticipate their lies. It made the entire experience so immersive, I binged the last few chapters like I was glued to a screen.
Julie is one of those rare characters you go back and forth on. At times I felt for her deeply, especially knowing what she endured. But I also couldn’t ignore how much of her darkness was self-chosen. That tension is what made her story so powerful. And as a woman of color, I really appreciated how the book called out the way whiteness—especially white femininity—can silently shape success, desirability, and who gets to rise without even trying. That truth hit hard, and the author didn’t flinch away from it.
Five stars. I already recommended it to three people and I’m still unpacking it in my head.
I disliked when the book ended I audibly yelled out noooo!
Chilling, immersive, and brutally honest, this one stayed with me

The narrator was not my favorite; the voice they used for male characters in particular was grating and off-putting, but there weren’t too many male characters so it wasn’t bad.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and the narrative on social media. It is definitely worth a listen.
Interesting premise, complicated main character
