A sharp, unsettling look at the price of influence.
Chloé Warner knows the grass isn’t always greener—especially online, where it’s often just fake.
But when her idol, the glamorous influencer Birdie Bay, moves in across the street, Chloé can’t resist getting close. One “accidental” encounter later, the illusion shatters—Chloé catches Birdie in a compromising moment and, unable to resist, exposes her secret on social media under a new FauxEver.
The post goes viral. Chloé tastes her first rush of fame.
But as she dives deeper into Birdie’s glittering world, the line between envy and admiration blurs. Against all odds, a bond forms between them—one that could almost be called friendship, were it not for Birdie’s unawareness that Chloé is the one who ruined her.
Pulled into a universe of filters, influence, and lies, Chloé begins sacrificing pieces of herself to keep FauxEver alive. But when a new anonymous account threatens to expose her—and with it, her hard-won success—she must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect the life and attention she’s come to crave.
