Golden-haired Max Monroe has all of it: magnificence, buddies, and tons of followers. Her picture-perfect existence appears eminently enviable.
Except it is all pretend.

But whereas Kat’s life is way from good, she thrives as Max: doling out recommendation, sharing stunning images, networking with followers, even discovering an actual pal (or extra?—Is Kat into women!?) in a beautiful Fat follower named Elena. But the nearer Elena and “Max” get, the extra Kat feels she has to maintain up the façade. “Max” is the primary time folks have actually listened to what Kat has to say—and after a lifetime of invisibility (together with ice-cold indifference from her mother and father) can she actually give that up?
But when one among Kat’s posts goes viral and will get again to the woman she’s been stealing images from, her complete world—actual and pretend—comes crashing down round her. Can she escape the net of lies she’s woven with out hurting the folks she loves?

Brilliantly plotted, deeply delicate, and wealthy in voice, No Filter and Other Lies deftly addresses FOMO, past love, one-sided love, frayed household ties, raced exclusion on social media, queer awakenings, and studying to dwell with—and love—your self.
Because essentially the most highly effective lies are the lies we inform ourselves.
