Tessa Hart has severe agoraphobia following an incident at a writing program she attended in early summer. She can't leave her bedroom. Her therapist holds sessions for her in her room. Tessa is obsessed with the pop star Eric Thorn. She wrote a fanfiction story about him that went viral. She even started the hashtag EricThornObsessed that was trending at number one. Meanwhile, Eric Thorn's manager and PR team are loving the attention he's getting from this hashtag. But Eric isn't as into the attention. He is still freaked out by the death of a fellow singer. Dorian Cromwell was stalked by a fangirl and then she slit his throat. Eric is worried about this happening to him too. He creates a fake account to try to give himself some negative attention, so his fans will move on to someone else. But his interactions with one fan leads to more than he ever expected.
I almost read this entire book in one sitting. I read until 2 AM and then continued as soon as I woke up in the morning! It was so thrilling!
The narrative of Tessa and Eric is interspersed with police transcripts about an incident that happened involving both of them. This hinted at them meeting one day and something serious happening!
The premise of all of these interactions happening on twitter is so realistic. You never know who you're talking to online. This story really shows how dangerous it can be to blindly throw yourself into an online relationship.
The ending was amazing! There were so many twists and turns, until the very last page. It's also amazing that this story was first published on Wattpad. A.V. Geiger is very talented. I can't wait to see what she comes out with in the future!

Five books appeared on my Audible account last week but there was only one I HAD to listen to right away - Follow Me Back. I was immediately drawn to the fact that it's told through police transcripts, DMs, Tweets, etc.
Reasons you'll love Follow Me Back:
Sense of mystery and urgency. You start the book at almost the end of the story...And work backwards. Needless to say, it starts off with you wondering WTF happened - and slowly uncovering it.
Two characters and their love story. Come on, you totally fantasized that your celeb crush would learn about you and fall head over heels for you. (PS Jensen Ackles, I'm waiting for that Tweet that solidifies our feelings for each other).
THAT ENDING. Like, what even????????? I need book 2 STAT.

2.5* rounded up
I'm not a big thriller fan and this book had slow moments but it also had great moments. However, I could feel my mental health deteriorate while reading it.
I also did not enjoy the epilogue. The book would've faired better without it and I'm just going to pretend it didn't happen
another reason why I didn't like the ending is because of how uncharacteristic it seemed for one of the characters. we've spent the whole book getting to know them and it's like all of that was pushed under the bus.

Mengingatkanku pada Geekerella, dimana seorang idola remaja menginginkan kehidupan biasa, sahabat, bahkan pacar orang biasa. Namun di buku ini genre nya misteri/thriller bukan YA contemporary.
O knížce jsem toho před čtením moc nevěděla, ale doporučila mi ji kolegyně, a musím uznat, že to opravdu bylo super. Zajímavý koncept, hrozně dobře se to četlo a konec opravdu nečekný, jelikož jsem vůbec netušila, že existuje další díl, takže nutně potřebuju vědět, jak to bude dál. Samozřejmě to je pořád YA, take tam je dost typických klišé, ale kupodivu mi to ani tak nevadilo, ta atmosféra sociálních sítí a napětí mi to vynahradila
The only thing my mind can come up with right now is what the fuck.

Ich wollte länger wieder eine Geschichte lesen in welcher die Protagonisten nicht auf direktem Weg miteinander kommunizieren. In Follow Me Back verständigen sich Tessa Hart, ein Mädchen mit Angststörung, und der Sänger Eric Thorn via Twitter.
Zwischendurch wird die Handlung mittels Protokollen einer Vernehmung unterbrochen, was mich persönlich sehr angesprochen hat! Das gesamte Buch habe ich in einem Rutsch gelesen, weil der Suchtfaktor mir nichts anderes übrig gelassen hat. Ebenfalls gut gefallen hat mir der Einblick in die Schattenseiten des Ruhms als Popstar.
Ich bemühe mich aufmerksam zu sein, wenn Protagonisten mit mentalen Problemen zu kämpfen haben und finde, dass A.V. Geiger hier nicht konsistent mit Tessas Ängsten umgegangen ist. Ihre Therapeutin hat meiner Meinung nach auch ab und an seltsame Entscheidungen getroffen. Eine Beziehung zu den Charakteren aufzubauen fiel mir ebenfalls schwer und das Ende habe ich so nicht erwartet. Es hat sich alles verwirrend angefühlt und für mich sind alle Figuren seltsam miteinander verschwommen. Trotzdem hat es mir irgendwie gefallen ...
Nachdem ich jedoch die Rezensionen zum zweiten (und letzten) Teil dieser Reihe gelesen habe, werde ich höchstwahrscheinlich nicht weiterlesen, um das Buch in besserer Erinnerung zu behalten.

Alright book, the ending was crazy but I was a fan of it.
