THAT ENDING. HOLY SHIT.
I was loving this book from the first page, and I really connected with the way it was written. I'm not into fandoms at all, but even I found myself loving the interactions with Tessa and her Twitter account. I got swallowed up in the entire story and couldn't put it down. This book shares Tessa and Eric's personal thoughts, so I loved seeing the life of a famous pop star and also being in Tessa's mind as she struggles with her mental issues and therapy. The Twitter drama was spot on, especially with how "Crazy fangirls" treat celebrities. Tessa was different and Eric saw that and he wanted to be a part of her life.
That was either the best or worst choice of HIS life.
Read this book to know what I mean. Trust me, you need this book.

Follow Me Back by A.V. Geiger is a young adult mystery novel I read in a single day at the beach--and it was perfect for that. It's the story of Tessa Hart, who is suffering from agoraphobia after a mysterious incident traumatized her, with her only escape being the online fandom for pop star Eric Thorn. Eric Thorn himself is scared by his obsessive fans, so he decides to troll Tessa, only to find that the relationship they develop is completely unexpected. Except not the reader, since this book was really predictable and there wasn't a ton of depth, nor did it feel realistic.
That said, there was definitely something really readable about Geiger's novel that easily kept me turning the pages, so it didn't surprise me this was originally published online. Originally I wanted things to get much darker in Follow Me Back but it really turned a bit sappy, that said, the ending definitely satisfied the urge for a dark, creepy twist, leaving me intrigued enough I could see myself picking up the sequel.

Oh my god, that ending is going to kill me! Why a cliffhanger?!
I really liked Tessa and ship her and Eric so much.
Anyway, just desperately waiting for June 2018 now.

I seriously can’t even talk about all the intense amazing things that happen in this book because it would totally ruin the story for anyone who has not yet read this.
THE ENDING YOU GUYS! This is the kind of book that ends and you desperately search Goodreads for a friend who has also read it so you can share your freak out with someone. Alas, none of my friends have read this yet, so if you have, contact me and we can freak out together!

Das Cover ist wie bei jedem Buch aus dem Lyx Verlag wieder
A fast-paced read that kept me staying up till one a.m. I almost put up an all-nighter last night. Almost! But my eyes were too tired.
This is a thrilling story about the consequences of social media. Love it. And will read the sequel.
