To their followers, influencer couple Jess and Nick Brooks are beyond aspirational—they’re proof that you can have it all. They can dance and cook and surf, and somehow, they’re still madly in love despite juggling two young boys, Oliver and Archie. When a brand deal lands the family a free trip to an idyllic Balinese luxury resort, their dream holiday becomes a nightmare when Archie goes missing from the Kids Club.

As the hunt for Archie begins, the loving and wholesome family that the Brooks present to their millions of followers starts to unravel. Who is behind this disappearance? Is it Elta, the overworked local nanny at the Kids Club? Is it the mysterious girl who's befriended Oliver beside the pool? Or is this the work of the sinister online troll in Jess's DMs? And what happens when the Brooks' virtual selves fracture completely from their real-world personas?

White Lotus meets The Beach in this thrilling new mystery from the authors of Still House and The Call.

Yessss

Best audiobook I’ve enjoyed in a long time. Zero boring zones. Go ahead and upload!

Engaging!

As a society we are addicted to social media, likes, and influencers. This story highlights all the pluses and minuses. You will be kept guessing what happens until the end. Not all the characters are lovable at times which keeps it more realistic. This is a good listen as the narrator is excellent.

Unsatisfying Ending

I actually really enjoyed this book…until the end, that is! I’m so disappointed with the ending…my heart is sad for their children but especially the one left…and the saddest part, is that social media has actually created families such as this!!!

Perhaps the best Audible original of 2025 so far!

Original story, timely, unvarnished, suspenseful and subversive. Perfectly acted. Some salty language. Beware listening with children in the room.

Crazy

It’s crazy how social media and keeping up a facade is the new norm. It was a good story.

Well told

I disagree with another reviewer, I can see this happening. Doctors aren’t quick to get children tested for autism. Especially when the child is high functioning, they tell you the child will outgrow it. It’s hard as parent to know what is something to be concerned about and what to let go when you have professionals telling you that it’s fine.

A surprising gem

This is a parents worst nightmare…and yet emotions have to be carefully curated as it’s on display for the world. The author did a great job of of weaving a story about a family dealing with the insanity of maintaining the “influencer veneer” while life crumbles around them.
You won’t regret this read…even while you dislike the main character.

Being a former small content creator myself I saw the fools gold for what it was so really was able to relate to the pull and push the main character felt as well as the struggles of the others (as I’ve seen how “that life” was robbing me of real life and saw the toll it took on my husband).

Awesome Narrator

Narrator was great. But the story itself was disappointing. It was well written and interesting just seemed like a waste of my time. I kept waiting for a lesson learned or some type of kindness. But no just some jerk being a jerk.

What awful people!

Kept my interest, but couldn’t stand the people in this book. I found it just sad. Narrator did a very good job, however.

Good listen

Story was a good listen and interesting take on social media. Thought the ending was just a tad disappointing. Guess I’m just that type of person looking for a super nefarious ending. Definitely recommend.
