Followed by Millions, Watched by One
To her adoring fans, Emmy Jackson, aka @the_mamabare, is the honest “Instamum” who always tells it like it is.
To her skeptical husband, a washed-up novelist who knows just how creative Emmy can be with the truth,
To one of Emmy’s dangerously obsessive followers, she’s the woman that has everything
but deserves none of it.
As Emmy’s marriage begins to crack under the strain of her growing success and her moral compass veers wildly off course, the more vulnerable she becomes to a very real danger circling ever closer to her family.
People Like Her explores our desperate need to be seen and the lengths we’ll go to be liked by strangers. It asks
What
and who
we sacrifice when make our private lives public, and ultimately lose control of who we let in. . . .
Thank you, Goodreads and Harper for the chance to read People Like Her!
“{I have a feeling something terrible is about to happen}”
“{I have an awful feeling it is all my fault.}”
I don’t think I have actually ever read a book about Instastar {instagram star or any other social media sites} or even about an influencer. So, this book was a little different for me. It says that it is a thrill. I don’t think I really agree with that. I thought it was more a suspenseful mystery. Some of the things that happen are scary to think about actually happening. But really, it's a good reminder. There are so many people putting their lives out there for everyone to see. We all say at some point “That won't happen to me.” But all in all, it was an ok book. I was able to finish the book just not as fast as I usually would. For some reason I just couldn’t get into it for long periods of time. So, I had to read a little and come back later. Happy reading everyone!
{“This is not about revenge. This has never been about revenge; it is about justice. And when it is over, all I want to do is close my eyes, and know that I have done what needed to be done, and rest.}”
“{Goodbye, Emmy.}”
