No Filter and Other Lies

Seventeen-year-old Kat Sanchez has built an online life that looks nothing like her real one. Behind the glamorous Instagram account of Max Monroe, she can share beautiful photographs, attract followers, and escape the frustrations of everyday life in Bakersfield. The photographs are stolen, but the connection she develops with a follower named Elena feels increasingly real. Keeping that friendship means maintaining a fictional identity, and every message makes the truth harder to tell. When a popular post reaches the person whose images Kat has borrowed, her separate worlds threaten to collide. Kat must confront the damage caused by the version of herself everyone seems to prefer.
