Best friends make the worst enemies
I’m stalking my best friend. There’s no use denying it. Aspen Palmer, with her millions of followers and beautiful family, has everything I want. The worst thing is, I showed her how to get it. And now I’m dead to her.

Praise for this book
"With You Will Never Be Me, Jesse Sutanto has proven she is a real force when it comes to writing gripping suspense novels. This book is not only an 'up all night' page turner, but a biting social commentary on social media, influencer culture and why we should never believe everything we see online. The twists are unrelenting with several gasp-out-loud moments and Jesse perfectly balances these with pitch black comedy. In short, it's thrilling, funny and gloriously dark. I loved it." - Katy Brent
"You Will Never Be Me is Jesse Q. Sutanto at her most bingeable and demonic yet. No one writes toxic female friendships as blisteringly as Sutanto and I guzzled You Will Never Be Me in a few delicious sittings and was positively hungover when I was finished, sad that the devious, delirious thrill ride was over. The heir apparent to Patricia Highsmith, Jesse Q. Sutanto is one of the boldest and most unapologetic, unflinching voices in crime fiction today. You Will Never Be Me is an utterly unputdownable triumph, a skewering, yet somehow sympathetic peek behind the lives of momfluencer culture and the impossible expectations society heaps upon women. A standing ovation!" - May Cobb

"Prepare to put everything else on hold, because this is one wildly twisty, ridiculously entertaining thrill ride of a book that you won't be able to put down. You Will Never Be Me is both a deep dive into the world of influencers, and a careful examination of how female friendships can irreparably fracture over time. Readers will love (and love to hate) Aspen and Meredith, and jaws will drop as the story unfolds and secrets are revealed. This is Jesse Q. Sutanto at her masterful, devious best." - Laurie Elizabeth Flynn
"If you've ever scrolled and judged, you must read the stunning suspense novel, You Will Never Be Me, a deliciously dark tale of two influencers turned best friends turned enemies willing to pay any price to keep the perfect life projected on social media. Heavy is the head that wears the mom-fluencer crown, and you won't be able to turn the pages fast enough to see whose heads will roll in this deliciously twisted book." - Vanessa Lillie
