Aesthetica is a 2022 debut novel by American writer Allie Rowbottom whose first book was the 2018 memoir Jell-O Girls.

The novel follows Anna, celebrity Instagram influencer, who fifteen years after the height of her fame contemplates an experimental surgery, Aesthetica, which would return her face to its "natural" state.

[1] Rowbottom had been considering the idea of writing a novel about a person with an Instagram following for some time but was delayed by circumstances including the theft of her laptop.

[1][2] The novel's focus on social media, plastic surgery, beauty standards, and their impact on women was inspired by Rowbottom's perception that "nobody" was writing about those subjects.

[5] Kirkus characterized Rowbottom's writing as alternating between "striking imagery" and "staccato simplicity", granting it an "entrancing quality, like the best social media algorithms".
