Julie Chan Is Dead
Julie Chan Is Dead: Or That's What She Needs You to Think | Liann Zhang
Julie Chan didn't mean to steal her identical twin's life. She meant to call the police when she found the body. She meant to dial 911. Except when she unlocked Chloe's phone to make that call, she also gained access to her estranged sister's sponsorship deals, her followers, her wealth, her whole life. And Julie's not prepared to give it back. Not yet. So goodbye Julie, love Chloe x All she has to do is keep her head down and blend in with the beautiful Belladonnas, the tribe of influencers who had welcomed Chloe in to their inner circle before she died. Julie's going to breathe, detox, workout. Curate each post. Filter each picture. Spend whole days filming unboxing videos. But someone out there knows that even identical twins have their differences.

I was really invested in this at the beginning - it reminded me of Yellowface - but my interest fizzled toward the end as it spiraled out of control. The narration was great! 🎧

This was a quick, entertaining read with “just-one-more” short chapters — so, exactly what I was looking for after the last few weeks of the school year with a graduating senior and all the attendant stress and exhaustion. Horror, satire, dark humor — I give this wild debut ⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a 🍿.

This book starts out as a normal thriller, with some decent humor thrown in and then takes a wild, dark turn. I realize that the 'over the top' outrageous last half of the book is satirical and campy, but it was just a little too much for my taste. I did appreciate the commentary on social media and had no trouble finishing the book. Even though it was crazy tale, it was easy to read and I will remember it. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the ARC. 3/5

Remember how about two weeks ago I was chastising myself for not sticking to my 2-out-1-in rule? I continue to throw the rules in my own face.

This novel feels like two separate books. In the first half Julie Chan semi-inadvertently steals her dead influencer twin‘s identity. It was absurd, but I was keen to see how/if she‘d get her comeuppance. The second half was more of a closed door thriller (with a possible dash of inspo from Awad‘s Bunny) and much less of a compelling read. #netgalley - thank you!

I‘m such a sucker for twin stories, so gobbled this one up in one sitting! Julie & her twin sister Chloe were raised apart after their parents‘ death. Adopted by a wealthy NYC couple, Chloe is an influencer while Julie struggled with being raised by their aunt, has worked in her upstate grocery store for almost a decade & tries to avoid seeing her quasi-famous twin online. This debut only starts here before Julie learns more about her twin‘s life!

Twins Julie and Chloe are separated quite young after their parents die. Now, Chloe is a trending influencer and Julie is at a dead end. Then Julie finds Chloe dead and finds herself slipping into Chloe‘s life. I really enjoyed this. It has a good tone and veers into camp (but it works) while providing social commentary on social media.

Librarybelle I picked this up through Aardvark because it sounded interesting. Glad you liked it! 1mo

I started reading this one with a lot of expectations, since it has been listed as an anticipated release this year (that should‘ve been my first red flag…). The story was engaging for about 50%, but then it took a whole different turn (not for the better, IMO).

It became predictable, which in turn made it boring for me.

This being the author‘s first novel makes it a great effort and I will read her future work.

I wanted to read something a little less heavy than my normal reads and this is proving to be a good choice! #arc

Independent Book Store Day means a short drive to St Mary‘s to my favourite wee shop to buy myself some essentials 🤣🤣🤣 here‘s hoping Camp Litsy chooses Julie Chan to read and if we don‘t I will go back and buy the others #independentbookstoreday #booklover
