Leila Adesina is invisible at school. Online, millions watch her eat.
Behind closed doors, she battles the voice in her head that whispers she isn't enough. The mirror is her enemy, her body a battlefield. Online, she becomes The Mukbang Girl, devouring food and feeding strangers her carefully curated self, a persona adored by millions while she starves for validation that never feels real.
Fame is intoxicating, yet empty. The applause, the comments, the fleeting sense of control-they cannot fill the void inside. As her secret world spirals and a boy begins to see past the screen, Leila is forced to confront the most terrifying truth: the war she's been fighting isn't against the world-it's against herself.
A story of obsession, illusion, and the darkness behind perfection.

A Body at Book Club: Myrtle Clover #6
This is one book club meeting that doesn't go by the book. When octogenarian sleuth Myrtle Clover discovers Naomi Pelter's dead body during a book club meeting, the other members seem shocked. But Myrtle can read between the lines. Naomi had riled everyone up by flirting with other people's husbands, arguing with neighbors, and generally making a nuisance of herself. Murdering troublemakers is the oldest trick in the book. The book club members seem too sweet to be killers, but Myrtle knows better than to judge books by their covers. Myrtle's investigation into the murder will take a more novel approach than her police chief son's by-the-book methods. Can Myrtle and her widower sidekick uncover the killer...before he writes them off for good? (This mystery will be uploaded on Wednesdays. If you can't wait for the next installment, the completed book can be found on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/o6wn4sk ) . The series is also available on Amazon India: https://tinyurl.com/ohdbffq .
