I loved this one. So there, right off the bat you know this is going to be a gratuitously positive review. When we first meet Audrey, she’s just the perfect girl. Perfect in the way that she has some faults – like a slight snaggle tooth. But it seems like she has just the perfect amount of faults to make her even more relatable and adorable to her thousands of followers – and one totally psycho stalker.
She’s an influencer. And it’s isn’t even her job, although I’m sure she must do pretty well from it. But she is also a social media manager for the Smithsonian. So she spends every waking hour on social media, whether its for her career or for sport (or her ego!)
Audrey is one of those adorable people who you either completely love, or completely loathe. But lucky for her, most people love her. It’s just the people closest to her who may harbor those negative feelings. And as she has just moved to D.C., the town where her stalker lives, everyone is a suspect.
Barber does a great job creating characters who are all just a little bit sketchy so it’s really hard to figure out which of the people in her life is her stalker. But isn’t the reality – we’re all a little bit sketchy in our own ways. And Audrey is one of those people who is so adorably clueless, she doesn’t even see how vapid and surface her own life really is.
That last paragraph sounded a little negative though. And I’m not trying to be. This book was amazing. But just goes to show you don’t have to love a main character to love the book. Huge thank you to Netgalley and Gallery Pocket Books for an advanced e-galley in exchange for my honest review. My review will be publisher on my blog, Women in Trouble Book Blog on January 29, 2019.

Super creepy... It makes me want to delete all social media and rip the camera out of my laptop.

a really fun read that was a lot like Caroline Kepnes’ You. maybe a little too much. you have to be able to look past how vapid and self centered Audrey is but to be honest that’s part of the fun.

To me , the scariest and creepiest books are the ones where you are able to imagine it happening to you. I was so scared to take a shower
