Leigh Stein's If You're Seeing This, It's Meant for You
When I saw the title, I had to read this--I've seen soooo many TikTok videos that started this way! (My favorite is the person who uses Pokemon cards.) Anyway, this is the story of some wannabe TikTok stars living in a wannabe hype house/crumbling old mansion in LA. There are two POV characters--Dayna, a former entertainment journalist who has a history with the house's owner, and is brought in to help promote the TikTokers; and Olivia, who is secretly there to investigate what happened to one of the former residents, a tarot card reader who's mysteriously vanished. It’s a gothic novel fused onto a novel about social media, and it rules. Stellar characters, a rabbit named Owen Wilson (the rabbit on the cover is NOT right), a little humor and a dose of weirdness—I think this will be a hit. A.
