Zara Lisbon burst onto the YA thriller scene with Fake Plastic Girl in 2019, a novel about a lonely teenage girl named Justine who becomes entangled with her glamorous celebrity neighbor in Venice Beach. The book plays with themes of obsession, identity, and the gap between how people present themselves and who they really are. Fake Plastic World (2020) continued the story, deepening the mystery and suspicion that made the first book a page-turner.
Outside the duology, Lisbon published a short story called Baby’s First Apocalypse in 2021. Her writing has a sharp, California-soaked atmosphere and a knack for making readers question which characters to trust. If you enjoy YA thrillers that mix celebrity culture with psychological tension, Lisbon’s books are worth picking up.
