Summary:

"The Last Illusion follows a woman who has to travel back to her hometown, a small, lakeside community outside Sydney, Australia, after her childhood friend is discovered drowned. Due to an ominous selfie the night before, the question is - foul play or suicide?"-- Provided by publisher.

Paige White has always lived a picture-perfect life, documented closely on her social media. The world she has curated exudes an old-fashioned, wholesome lifestyle set against a picturesque, lakeside town in Australia. Her page is littered with breakfasts shoreline with her daughter, sunny afternoons in the family van, and romantic picnics with her husband. Jane Masters was one of Paige's childhood best friends, but she left her and their small town behind to pursue a bigger life in Sydney. When Paige's death makes national news, Jane, now a journalist, finds herself reluctantly traveling back to where it all began. Struggling with the morality of covering her friend's death, Jane must confront the friends and family she abandoned, and the secrets she left in her wake. But one thing Jane is sure about? This was not a suicide.
