federicareads 's review for:
Do You Follow?
by J.C. Bidonde
i received an arc though netgalley. all opinions are my own.
this book was not a good experience for me. the alternating between the two POVs was confusing, especially in the first few chapters. i listened to the audiobook and, at some points, i couldn't figure out who was talking. the story was not what i expected (i don't mean that as a compliment) and it was hard to follow. i didn't feel any thrill while reading so i wouldn't call this a 'thriller'. there is an element of mystery, yes, but nothing thrilling happens in this 300-pages novel. furthermore, i didn't feel any connection to these characters and i blame that on the writing. these characters aren't given any justice, especially alexa. the final plot twist was not good, it made me dislike the book even more. read this if you want to start screaming about plot holes and non-existent characterization. otherwise, i suggest skipping it.
content warnings: animal abuse (strangled), blood, cursing, death (by gun), forced institutionalization (multiple times), mental illness, murder (more than one), suicide (by gun).
i forgot to take note of cw while reading so i might have missed some. please let me know if there is a more in-detail list somewhere so i can link it here, thanks.
