Summary

Megan Chernoff is a talented but unemployed copywriter in an identity crisis after the birth of her second child。 Seeking a fresh start, she and her family move to New York City, where she meets Daphne Cole-a gorgeous, stylish, well-known momfluencer。 To Meg's surprise and delight, Daphne shows an inordinate amount of interest in Meg, showering her with compliments, attention, gifts, and all the perks that come with having a massive digital platform。 Before she knows it, Meg finds herself immersed in Daphne's world-hobnobbing at exclusive power mama supper clubs, partaking in fancy wellness rituals, and reveling in the external validation she gets from her followers who grow daily by the thousands。 Her friendship with Daphne, as well as the world she's been granted access to, is intoxicating and all-consuming。 But is it authentic? When Meg realizes she's losing track of what matters most-her relationship with her sons and her husband-the deep cracks in Daphne's carefully curated fa�ade are finally exposed。 It's up to Meg to find her way back to her real life。 But first she must determine what real even means。 Written with Jenny Mollen's signature razor sharp wit, CITY OF LIKES is a compulsively entertaining and unforgettable satire of the seductive allure of social media, as well as an unsettling portrait of female relationships, motherhood, and our pics or it didn't happen culture。

Empty characters, thin plot and boring story that has seems like it was written by a social influencer。

We’re all aware of Instagram vs reality and this novel dives into it head first。This is very quick paced and has a nice twist towards the end that I LOVED。 Mollen’s writing is witty and sharp - no surprise if you follow her on Instagram。 I was laughing out loud throughout the entire book。 Grab this one if want a fresh take on the “double life” storyline。 。。。more
