I never thought I would like this as much as I would, but here we are! I'm so glad I read this and only took like 2 hours to read because of how hooked I was. This was originally a Wattpad fic that eventually got published into a book, so if you're not into Wattpad I don't suggest this since you can clearly tell this was initially on there (not necessarily a bad thing and it still kept up with the quality of an actual book).
Basically it's about a girl named Tessa who loves this pop idol Eric Thorn so much she has a twitter account just for him that's called @TessaHeartsEric. But Eric doesn't actually likes his fans at all and makes an account just to piss his fangirls off without them knowing it's actually him. He starts talking to Tessa on this account and yeah. You can already tell there's going to be drama. Tessa also has agoraphobia which is the extreme fear of groups and crowds of people so she stays isolated in her house 24/7.
I literally was on my toes the whole time reading this. I loved the characters so much, Eric was an actual person who isn't some perfect idol who has never done anything wrong in their entire life, and Tessa was just relatable. She was stuck at home due to her disability and had a therapist and all. She also had a toxic boyfriend but you can read more about that in the actual book since I don't want to spoil anything. And I was so relieved when I found out Eric's and Tessa's relationship was not insta-love. Hell, it was completely the opposite and I'm all here for it. The mystery was done great as well. The antagonist was a huge shock for me as I didn't expect them to be the bad person in this book and just the overall addition of mystery added into this book made everything so much more interesting. If it hadn't been for that, the third act would've been boring as fuck. The third act though? Can we talk about that? It was so good! Although it was a bit confusing to follow at times, I literally could not put the book down. And the ending was a great pathway to the start of the sequel of this book, 'Tell Me No Lies', which I'll be trying to get my hands on as soon as possible!
I just loved this book and I hope you can love it as much as I did as well! Might've been just me and my love for well written Wattpad stories so please don't come at me if you read this and didn't enjoy it but just give it a try and it'll definitely be worth it<3
