Publisher's summary

Youth, beauty, and the perils of fame combine in Zara Lisbon's Fake Plastic World, the suspenseful sequel to Fake Plastic Girl.

How badly do you want to be famous? What - or who - would you sacrifice?

These are the questions Justine Childs is forced to reckon with as the main suspect in the murder of it-girl Eva-Kate Kelly. Not long ago, Eva-Kate drew Justine into her orbit before meeting her untimely end in a Venice Beach canal.

Prosecutors and the public want to know: Did Justine, now a social media darling in her own right, kill her celebrity best friend? Can anyone be trusted to tell the truth? Justine has always wanted people to know her name - but not all notoriety is created equal.

Fun but not very good

In the follow up to FAKE PLASTIC GIRL, Justine stands accused of Eva-Kate’s murder. Determined to find the real killer she realizes Eva-Kate had no shortage of potential suspects from friends who used her, her twin sister, ex boyfriend maybe even Justine’s mother, Eva-Kate’s therapist.

Justine is an unreliable narrator due to a history of psychosis and a tenuous relationship with the truth. She’s narcissistic, histrionic and dishonest, craving her mother’s attention while shunning it.

FAKE PLASTIC WORLD has less useless dialogue than the first book in the series although at times the pace lagged due to useless detail that didn’t advance the plot or give insight to the characters.

Zara Lipson didn’t do her homework about psychiatric privilege. The records could have been subpoenaed, only Eva-Kate’s mother could contest the subpoena even though her daughter had been emancipated. Since they were central to Justine’s case, surely the judge would have allowed the records as they were material to the defense.

FAKE PLASTIC WORLD is at best mediocre. The only reason I wanted to read it was to see if Justine killed Eva-Kate and to find out the nature of Justine’s mental illness.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
