People Like Her by Ellery Lloyd
4.0
I read this book in a day, once I picked it up I just couldn't put it down without finding out how it ended.
This book gives an uncomfortable look at social media influences and commentary on society's obsession with how things look and how much of what is put online is believed.
Following 3 characters - the influencer Emmy, her husband Dan and the unknown character who blames Emmy for their tragedy. We see how Emmy's obsession with posting online puts her and her family at increasing risk of actual harm.
I found the writing and story intense, compelling and uncomfortable in equal measure. This is definitely a couldn't put it down read.
This book comes with a lot of triggers so please look them up before picking up this book.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
