So there's a pair of identical twins.

One of them works at a grocery store, has a pretty

blue collar job.

And the other one is a mega famous Instagram influencer.

The mega famous Instagram influencer dies in a weird set of circumstances, which presents the other one, the grocery store cashier, the opportunity to step into the life of the Instagram influencer and live her life.

And she gets invited to this influencer retreat where she expects to learn a whole bunch on like how to do it.

And what goes on on that island is very...

to say the least.

And it gets progressively more unhinged the further you go.

The first half of the book serves as an excellent hook.

She very much makes fun of the whole culture.

It's satire.

It's super fun.

Very modern too.

Something I think a lot of millennials and Gen Z are going to appreciate.

So that wraps up round one.
