Julie Chan is Dead is the debut novel by author Liann Zhang.
Julie Chan didn’t mean to steal her identical twin’s life. She meant to call the police when she found the body. She meant to dial 911.
Except when she unlocked Chloe’s phone to make that call, she also gained access to her estranged sister’s sponsorship deals, her followers, her wealth, her whole life.
And Julie’s not prepared to give it back. Not yet. So it’s goodbye Julie, love Chloe x
Now all Julie has to do is keep her head down and blend in with the beautiful Belladonnas, the tribe of influencers who had welcomed Chloe in to their inner circle before she died.
Julie’s going to breathe, detox, workout. Curate each post. Filter each picture. Spend whole days filming unboxing videos.
But someone out there knows that even identical twins have their differences…

Liann Zhang’s Julie Chan is Dead is a sharp, compelling thriller that explores identity, deception, and the seductive allure of social media stardom. It’s a sleek and provocative debut that blends psychological suspense with biting social commentary, delivering both thrills and thoughtful insight.
It is a standout thriller—intelligent, relevant, and impossible to put down. Liann Zhang offers a fresh and timely take on the genre, asking important questions about identity in the age of digital performance. It’s as stylish as it is sinister.
A book that is not just a page-turner—it’s a mirror held up to the world we’ve created online. Thought-provoking and wildly entertaining.
