The Social Affair: A Psychological Thriller
From the bestselling author of HER and Water Under the Bridge comes a razor-sharp psychological thriller about obsession, deception, and the terrifying ease of watching—and being watched.
A flawless couple walks into the coffee shop where Izzy Lewis works. They're perfect—effortless, enviable, everything she's ever wanted. So, she does what she always she stalks them on social media.
Just like that—with the tap of a screen—she's inside their world. Their glamorous life, their intimate moments, their secrets. But this time, watching isn't enough. This time, she'll do whatever it takes to become part of their story—even if it means rewriting the ending herself.
Dark, twisted, and deeply unsettling, The Social Affair is a gripping psychological thriller that explores what happens when privacy is traded for convenience—and obsession turns deadly. With relentless tension, shocking twists, and mind games that blur the line between reality and deception, this is a must-read for fans of domestic thrillers, social media suspense, and unputdownable psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the final page.

About the author
Britney King
79 books1,621 followersGrab a drink. Settle in. I’ve got a quick story for you.
It starts, as most good stories do, with someone chasing a feeling.
Picture a Texas writer surrounded by five kids, two literary dogs, one unreasonable cat, and a partridge in a pear tree—all orbiting a household powered by caffeine, chaos, and sheer willpower.
Instead of getting into trouble in real life, she decided to invent it on the page. (Healthier for everyone. Mostly.)
She didn’t set out to write the perfect thriller, but she has been chasing a certain feeling for years—chasing the perfect story.
The kind that makes you miss your exit, burn your dinner, or stay up later than you meant to.
The kind that makes a reader say “just one more chapter” and lie to themselves beautifully.
Some writers chase awards.
Britney chases that feeling.
You might call it persistence.
She calls it passion—the only real secret ingredient behind thirty-plus books and counting.
Always reaching for whatever that elusive green-light moment is.
She hasn’t caught it yet.
But that’s half the fun.
