Myface is a new release from Kevin Landt, and I've been sent a copy for review. This is very modern young adult fiction, which blurs the lines between social media fantasy, and reality, so much so that you don't really know what's real and what isn't until a good way through the book.
Myface starts with a murder, and then follows twisting and turning paths which all intersect at various points in the book. It has a great cast of people who all have the same thing in common - they care desperately about what other people think of them. Far too much really...
The main characters include Norman, a 22 year old ex-child star and 24 hour a
day live streamer. Max, who spends his life watching other people live their
lives. Amir, the theatre director, and his financer and wife, Jada. We have
Sebastian, obsessed with someone he can never have, and his wife, Liz, who
dreams of acting stardom. Finally we have the seemingly perfect, sultry and
illusive Angela Fox.
