Some pictures are worth killing for.

Lara Simon has always lived in her older sister’s shadow. Mia was the perfect one—the dancer, the star, the girl everyone adored. But when Mia dies in a tragic accident, Lara finally has the chance to be seen.

She has a plan:
Win the prestigious Halleigh Grant with an art portfolio no one will ever forget.

Get the boy her sister left behind.

Make the people who hurt her pay.

Because some girls are born to be in the spotlight.

And others will do anything to take it.

This isn’t just a story. It’s a confession.

I love happy endings, so I don’t normally read thrillers, but I’ve really loved many of Cassie Alexander’s other books, so I wanted to give this a try. It was ok, but not really my jam.

Our main character Mia is smart, tough, determined, and creative. She’s also incredibly self-centered, dishonest, manipulative, and probably a psychopath. She shared some interesting ideas about art, but she is all about winning and doesn’t care who she hurts in order to get what she wants. One of my personal quirks is that I strongly prefer stories about characters I can relate to and root for, and Mia is not that. Many of the secondary characters were more relatable, so it was painful to watch how Mia hurts them.

The story was interesting, but there’s not a lot of action. We spend the entire story in Mia’s toxic thoughts, mostly hearing her dictate her diary entries. The author does build some tension and a sense of dread by alternating back and forth between past and present, leaving the reader scrambling to make sense of what’s happening until all is revealed near the end.

The audiobook production was excellent, and the story works well in audio. I enjoyed Bunny Warren’s narration. She has good enunciation and pacing, distinct voices to suit the characters, and the ability to convey the emotions and intensity of this story effectively. This isn’t safe for work or for children, but it was exciting to listen to privately.

This book would most appeal to fans of young adult psychological thrillers who don’t need a lot of action. Note that the book contains teenage sex, violence, and use of drugs and alcohol.

I received a free advanced listener’s copy of the audiobook from the author. I volunteered to provide an honest review.

As I highly enjoyed this story! My first read from this author but certainly won’t be my last. The level of jealousy & narcissistic behavior by the protagonist in this story, kept me deeply intrigued and my attention never wavered. I was very curious to dive into the world of Lara.

Alternating between past & present, we dive in the mind of Lara and her complex relationship with her sister Mia. Mia (now deceased) was the “it girl” and Lara’s jealousy was palpable as the chapters continued! Not only do we get this POV straight for the source, we also get it in the form of her writing in her journal, so we get the nitty gritty, raw & uncut version of her true feelings toward her sister.

Bunny Warren did a phenomenal job with the narration in this audiobook, she truly brought life to these characters. The perfect amount of pitch and diction & her performance was simply impeccable. In my opinion, YA is one of the harder genres to narrate as you sometimes have to switch back and forth between adult voices & YA voices. Bunny nailed it!

This book would be perfect for fans of YA psychological thrillers, with a delusional FMC.

This is quite the story. Never really went where I figured it would go. It has some twists and turns and that Lara really is something. It is a but intense at what one person can and will do to achieve their goals. I really was hooked all the way to the ending. Then I just thought “ What? That’s it??” I really expected more at that point. Narration is done by Bunny Warren. She does an excellent job encompassing all the evil needed to portray Lara and bring that out to the listener.

Quite a story!

My attention was grabbed from the opening paragraphs until the very end of this story. Once the audiobook started, I had to drag myself away to fulfill daily tasks. I was emotionally impacted by Lara Simon as I understood her plight of living in another's shadow; however, it was hard to take her callousness and manipulation of others. I thought Bunny Warren's narration was spectacular as she provided a voice for Lara and managed to convey the story's aura. I was given an advanced listener's copy of the audiobook through Home Cooked Books. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

Want to spend some time with a person who absolutely, totally, sincerely believes IT.IS.ALL.ABOUT.ME? If so, Photobomb is for you. Nearly everything Lara Simon thinks or says or creates or writes or does is outrageous, but to her it’s as it should be: she’s right, she knows best, she knows what others should do, and she almost always gets what she wants.

The audiobook of Photobomb moves at lightning speed. It’s just one event or thought or plan or action after another. Narrator Bunny Warren grabs your attention with her whiny, petulant, obsessive, jealous, narcissistic delivery and never lets go. The tone, the pacing, the volume – all perfect. You try to understand Lara or begin to feel sorry for her, but then Bunny Warren makes her speak again and you wonder how anything in her life can come to a good end.

Photobomb isn’t just a story about a talented yet spoiled teenager who may or may not be grieving the loss of her sister and who lives in her own little fantasy world where she is The Boss. No, it’s a fast-paced psychological thriller with so many twists and turns you are constantly on the edge of your seat.

If you are looking for something just a little different, something exciting and riveting, then this audiobook is for you. I received an advance listening copy of Photobomb from Home Cooked Books. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.

I immediately became engrossed in this story and didn't wan to put it down.

Two sisters, two rivals, one living, one dead.

Lara is obsessed with her dead sister Mia, although she probably wouldn't admit to that. Even after Mia's sudden death she still can't stop thinking about the rivalry. She also can't stop thinking about Mark, Mia's boyfriend whom she swears was stolen from her before they had a chance.

Told through Mia's journal entries, it reads like the series "You" with the narrators dialogue telling us what happened and all their disturbed inner thoughts the whole time.

Lara is completely unlikable and narcissistic yet we cannot get enough of her and what she is going to do and who she is going to manipulate next.

There isn't a character in this book that she didn't leave worse off than they were before she came along.

It's haunting and engrossing and I wanted more to be honest. I completely recommend this book. I listened to the audio and the narration by Bunny Warren was phenomenal. Both the author and narrator were new to me but I'm definitely going back for more.

ENGROSSING

Lara never meant to steal the spotlight. She just wanted to honor her sister Mia’s memory by entering the Halleigh Grant. Instead she found herself taking photos that turned into a public obsession. As her portfolio goes viral she must face the boy Mia left behind and the guilt behind every snapshot. Told through Lara’s private journal entries this thriller shows how art can become a dangerous truth no one is ready to see.

My Thoughts:
At first I wanted to root for Lara but that hope fell apart as her true nature came into view. She feels self absorbed and childish and maybe even a full blown narcissist. She uses people like props and barely notices how much they hurt. The scenes with her best friend made me so mad I almost threw the book. Yet I could not stop reading. The fast pace kept me glued to every entry. I felt my heart race when Lara crossed lines that made me wince. Even though I wanted to slap her I had to admit this book nailed that creepy edge that makes a thriller unforgettable.

The Vibes It Brings:
📷 Obsession with fame and memory
📝 Unreliable narrator in journal format
💔 Sibling loss and survivor guilt
🎭 Public image versus private truth
🔪 Razor sharp tension
👀 Desperate hunger to be seen
🎧 Audiobook confessional style

Narration:
Bunny Warren brings Lara’s journal to life with a voice that feels like a secret being whispered in your ear. She shifts from quiet regret to harsh entitlement in a way that had me leaning forward. Her tone adds an extra layer of creepiness that makes every confession hit harder.

Final Thoughts:
If you love psychological thrillers that make you question every motive and keep you flipping pages late into the night then Photobomb belongs on your shelf. It is a wild ride through obsession guilt and dangerous truths. Just be ready for a protagonist you will love to hate.
