The Perfect Ones (2023) is Nicole Hackett’s debut novel and the only entry in her standalone catalog so far. The book follows a group of social media influencers who are brought together for a glamorous retreat. When one of the women vanishes, suspicion falls on everyone, and the carefully constructed personas they maintain for their followers start to fall apart.
Hackett uses the closed setting and small cast to build suspense, peeling back layers of deception as each character’s motives come into question. The novel works as both a domestic thriller and a piece of social commentary, examining how the pressure to appear perfect online can warp relationships and push people toward desperate choices.
