What It Seems

Emily Bleeker

A page-turning novel of suspense about the perfect family, and the perfect lies, by the bestselling author of When I'm Gone and The Waiting Room.

Adopted by her controlling foster mother at the age of eight, twenty-year-old Tara has seen little of the outside world. Lonely, punished for the slightest offense, her only distraction comes from watching the Feely family's online videos. They're an affectionate vlogging quintet and an internet sensation. Most important, they are Tara's mental refuge. Then the opportunity arises for them to be something more. When Tara accepts an internship with the close-knit clan, they're her escape.

Daring to run away, and defying Mother's rules, Tara is welcomed into the loving fold. But the more Tara gets to know them, the more she realizes that not everything is as it seems. As secrets slowly surface, the image of the perfect family begins to crack. For Tara, it's another trap.

To claim a life of her own, she'll need a new escape plan. Because as the show's popularity explodes, reaching even more fascinated viewers, Tara can't shake the feeling that Mother is among their ranks. She's watching. She's waiting. She'll never let her go.
