Summary
When the perfect life on Instagram turns out to be a lie…
Hanna Moreno has her eyes on the sweet life， but being an unemployed psychologist won't get her there。 Her former friend Rowan—glamorous Instagram star—has money and leisure spare。 Once bound by a tragic accident， the two women have lost touch。 At least， until Hannah forces herself into Rowan's beautiful world。
When a party takes a shocking turn， history starts to repeat itself。 Now， the Cambridge police are closing in， and the reunited friendship starts to unravel。 Suspected of murder， Hannah and Rowan have to choose: do they keep each others' secrets， or do they try to save themselves？
"Influenced is the sort of book where you end up staying up until the middle of the night because you can't let it go。 Hannah is a character you fall in love with。。。 and then stay on the edge of your seat as her life spirals out of control。 A must read for psychological suspense lovers。" -- New York Times and Washington Post Bestseller Mike Omer

Hannah is a psychologist who loses her mind one day and suddenly quits her job。 Single mother of a little girl， she hardly sleeps and feels like she is losing control。Rowan is a formerly adored instagrammer with addiction problems and many insecurities。This 2 went to high school together and meet again just after people around them start to die。The book is a but slow at first， but it’s worth it， especially for the ending that ends up being surprising。

This was a very different thriller than I was expecting。 I read many books in this genre and tend to find that many of them follow the same format， but this one was not like that。 It is told from the POV of several characters whereas， in the beginning， it seemed like it was just going to be told from Hannah's POV。 I can find this both annoying and confusing in most books but it worked very well here。This book does a great job of portraying the downside of social media and how people put so much This was a very different thriller than I was expecting。 I read many books in this genre and tend to find that many of them follow the same format， but this one was not like that。 It is told from the POV of several characters whereas， in the beginning， it seemed like it was just going to be told from Hannah's POV。 I can find this both annoying and confusing in most books but it worked very well here。This book does a great job of portraying the downside of social media and how people put so much of their own self-esteem into what strangers on the internet think of them。 It really shows the side of how social media can be extremely damaging in how Rowan gets trolled so badly but also how she too doesn't show her real self to the world。 Everything is filtered and shown through a lens that is not the whole truth。 Her pictures are beautiful， outfits trendy， makeup perfect。。。but when we see the real Rowan she is a mess; her apartment is filthy， she drinks too much， she has stains all over her clothes。 I found all of the characters individually very interesting but felt like I needed more。 I guess a downside of having the story told from so many POV was that we never get a full picture of what each character is like， apart from Hannah whose story we see the most。 This isn't necessarily a bad thing though。 It just means the characters were interesting enough that I wanted more and I believe a lot of them would make great spin-off books; particularly Michael and Ciara。 They were so interesting as detectives and there seems to be so much more to them than we know。 （Please write a spin-off of these two Eva！）The story itself was particularly interesting given the recent college admissions scandal。 It was something different from the usual run of the mill murder mysteries。 I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by the author。（Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC。 All thoughts are 100% my own）。 。。。more
