Joanna Reinhard loses her job as a software engineer but refuses to adjust her reckless spending. To keep her three dogs and two horses (the mare menacing and pregnant), she moves in with her best friend, Margaret Lewis, paying for her family’s lodging by fixing up Margaret’s house and barn for sale. Joanna’s world grows more complicated when Margaret’s manipulative son Davey comes home from college and reawakens Joanna’s buried memories of childhood abuse and her anger at an early marriage to a domineering husband. Margaret, however, refuses to acknowledge her son’s predatory behavior. Joanna hires a local stable manager, Wayne Armstrong, to lend a hand with the heavy work in renovating the barn. His muscles and equipment are a great help, but his “little woman” attitude grates against Joanna’s self-sufficient temperament. The friendship between Joanna and Wayne begins with verbal clashes, but develops into an emotional haven for Joanna when Davey attacks her beloved dogs and horses and Margaret emotionally deserts her.

Sometimes the prettiest Instagram feeds mask the darkest, and bloodiest, secrets. Social media influencer Summer Cartwright leads a very charmed life: millions of followers, the hottest designer and vintage clothes at her fingertips, a newly minted book deal, the coolest friends, and, until recently, the hottest boyfriend at her über-elite prep school. Every moment of her life has been carefully planned and cultivated to complement her "imperfectly perfect" social media persona. She is truly #LivingHerBestLife. But when Summer goes missing during her annual Halloween party and then an unscheduled post appears on her feed stating that she'll be dead within the next five minutes, those closest to Summer know something isn't quite right—or on-brand. Grace, Summer's camera-shy best friend; Adam, Summer's gamer ex-boyfriend; Laney, Summer's moody camp roommate; and Cora, an influencer wannabe, all decide to investigate. And when they come upon Summer's lifeless body, they soon realize that no filter is strong enough to mask the lies we tell ourselves. Told in multiple POVs interspersed with social media posts and flashbacks, Live Your Best Lie has twists and turns that will keep readers turning the page and no one will be able to guess the ending.
