Follow Me Back by A.V. Geiger
2.0

I received the advanced reader's copy by the publisher through NetGalley for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I was not having any luck with some of the books I read recently. Follow Me Back was another disappointment. Maybe I've just been reading too many YA mystery/thrillers but I just found this book to be underwhelming and unbelievable.

I enjoyed parts of this book. It was sort of interesting and I liked that the book was told in a unique format, with tweets, text messages, and interrogation transcripts. However, the main characters grated on my nerves, especially Eric Thorn, who seemed like a narcissistic jerk. He had no respect for anyone, including his many fans, and I just really disliked his character. Tessa wasn't as unlikeable as Eric, but I still didn't really care what happened to her. You would think I would've related to her better, since I've had my own episodes with agoraphobia, but I really didn't find her character to be that interesting.

The relationship between Tessa and Eric was unbelievable and it just annoyed me. I guess the mystery in this book was done well, but I don't know if I'll be reading the second book in the series. The ending took a weird turn, so I might have to read the next one just to see what the heck happened.
