"When your life is your content, what happens when it's not looking so good? Create a new picture and hashtag it #blessed! However, living a lie can be pretty stressful especially when romance is at stake and personal humiliation on a mega, even viral level is a very real possibility ... Wannabe influencer Ali spends much of her time on Instagram in a scroll-hole of envy and comparison, seeking refuge from the bleak reality of her father's illness. When Ali inadvertently leads her followers to believe she is pregnant and immediately gains thousands of new devotees, she realises that the one vital 'hero' accessory of this season is not to be found in Penneys. But she decides to run with it and hatches an ill-conceived plan to fake a foetus. But things get more complicated when a recent hook-up, Tinder Sam, resurfaces believing her 'baby' to be his ... Meanwhile, Ali's idol and Ireland's biggest influencer, Shelly Divine has it all ... at least on paper. But beneath the immaculately curated feed, cracks are appearing. And when Shelly finds herself unexpectedly expecting, she is petrified of telling her husband, who has grown tired of broadcasting their lives online. Both women face difficult choices as their respective webs of lies spin out of control. Will they realise what's truly important before they lose what matters most? Filter This explores the chasm between life Online and IRL, where hiding from the little lies (like pretending you ate overnight oats rather than a guilty breakfast burrito) can easily become a fake haven from dealing with proper grown up stuff like death, loneliness, ambition, dishonesty and love."--Publisher description.
