Review:
Julie Chan
Is Dead is a fabulous, fun, and fast-paced fiction novel. I devoured this
addictive thriller and consistently found myself staying up late at night while
my husband slept so I could read more.
Julie Chan
lives in a pretty dismal situation: she's an orphan, she's broke, her aunt has
mistreated and stolen from her, and she's been working a terrible job for 10
years. When she gets a call from her famous influencer twin sister, that is
rather ominous, she quells her curiosity and desperation for a connection by
going to see her. When she arrives she finds her sister dead of an apparent
overdose. What's a girl to do? Steal her sister's identity of course and find
out what it's like to live as a lavish, opulent influencer. While living in
luxury Julie begins to suspect that there's something more to Chloe's life than
the glitz and glamour.
Julie Chan
is an empathetic character that many of those of us who struggle to make a
living can sympathize with. She is easy to root for and funny. I loved being in
her head.
This book
is not only a suspenseful thriller but a deeper commentary on social media
influencers and the privileged. Julie Chan is Dead was a funny and enthralling
nail-biter that will be sure to be a memorable read.
