Julie Chan Is Dead is a razor sharp debut thriller from Liann Zhang. In it, a young lady steps into her deceased twin’s influencer life, only to find out there are dark secrets lurking behind the social media mirror.

Julie Chan has nothing, and her twin sister has everything– everything except a pulse.

Julie Chan is a supermarket cashier with nothing to lose. One day, she finds herself thrust into the glam but dangerous world of her late twin, Chloe VanHuusen, who was a popular influencer.

They were separated at a young age and rarely spoke and were even polar opposites. They only interacted in one viral video that Chloe started (‘Finding My Long-Lost Twin and Buying Her a House #EMOTIONAL).

When Julie finds Chloe’s dead body under mysterious circumstances, it might just be the chance to live the life that she’s always coveted. Transforming into her twin is easier than she expected.

Haunted by Chloe’s young death and struggling to fit in when it comes to the privileged influencer circle, Julie is already in over her head. This comes to a head during a week-long island retreat with Chloe’s personal group of influencer friends.

As the events spiral out of control, Julie finds out there may be sinister forces that led to her sister’s death and she might be the next target. Can she manage to stay alive, or will this new life lead to hers coming to an end? Read this compelling mystery story to find out!
