Everyone Is Lying to You by Jo Piazza

Bex was Lizzie’s best friend until Bex ghosted her, resurfacing years later as a “traditional wife” influencer on Instagram with six kids and a perfect farm. But Bex’s life is more complicated than making sourdough bread and hawking supplements. After Bex’s husband is brutally murdered, she disappears. Did Bex do it? Lizzie must dodge jealous influencers and their schemes in the race to find answers or else lose her friend again — this time forever.
