Fake Plastic Girl (2019) introduces Justine Childs, a Venice Beach teenager who has always felt invisible. When a young, famous actress moves in next door, Justine is pulled into her orbit, and what seems like a dream friendship quickly turns into something much more complicated. Zara Lisbon builds the tension slowly, letting readers share in Justine’s fascination before the darker undercurrents of the story take hold.

Fake Plastic World (2020) picks up the thread and pushes deeper into the mystery. The duology works best as a single story split across two books, with the second installment paying off questions raised in the first. Lisbon keeps the Venice Beach setting front and center, using its mix of glamour and grit as a backdrop for a story about how badly wanting to be close to fame can warp your sense of reality.
