One million followers: the dream of every would-be influencer!
But for Stella Lerner, a buzzy fashion designer, maintaining her picture-perfect lifestyle image crashes against a rising wall of authenticity she discovers with a stranger she sought out on Blindr as a diversion.
Suddenly, the young woman watched by millions feels seen . . . although she’s never even laid eyes on him. What starts as an app diversion becomes a journey of radical transformation to living her true self rather than her online version.
Upon the release of her debut novel, Looks Perfect, Jessica Siskin joins us to discuss her witty novel about performance and identity and to talk about her transition from being a social media influencer herself to writing a novel about a woman who might be her alter ego.
