3.5 rounding up cuz this was silly but I liked it!
The story here revolves around a popular instagrammer who gets a job as a social media manager for a DC museum and relocates from her glamorous life in NY to take it. The problem is - a guy who has been stalking her for years ALSO lives in DC and takes this as his chance to go full psycho. Chaos ensues.
Overall I thought this was a fun and quick little thriller. I love stuff that involves the internet/social media as a plot line so this was right up my alley. The parts where someone is sneaking around her apartment were really creepy too. I also loved the DC setting and all the details about the city! The main character was a bit ditzy and naive at times (who moves from NY to DC and is shocked that you have to lock your door??), and really irritated me when she did things like not immediately call the police when weird stuff started happening. But honestly, it worked for her character as an influencer to be overly trusting so I wasn't that mad at it. The reveal of her stalker worked well and kept me guessing for a while, tho I did ultimately guess it and thought the way she found out was kinda lame...
Sometimes you need a goofy little thriller to break up your reading a bit and that's exactly what this was for me.
