Follow Me Back
by A.V. Geiger
Follow Me Back is the YA Psychological Thriller You've Been Waiting For
First of all, I have to admit I'm a LITTLE nervous to hop on Twitter after reading this book! It is such a dark, gripping tale that will keep you turning those pages well into the night. I could not put this down until it reached it's MIND-BLOWING conclusion. This is one psychological thriller that is anything but predictable.
My Review: FOUR STARS
This book was so fascinating! I was glued to it from the moment I started reading it and couldn't stop thinking about it when I did have to put it down. This is probably the best YA Psychological Thriller that I've read, because you think it's going to be predictable and that you totally know what's going to happen next, and then nothing, NOTHING ends up turning out the way you expected.
Both Tessa and Eric have experienced some trauma and are coping with varying degrees of anxiety, Tessa to the point that she has, understandably, become agoraphobic. The way A.V. Geiger describes their anxiety and panic is so well done and makes you absolutely ache for these characters. You'll be rooting for both of them from page one.
The mystery that overlies everything is absolutely engrossing, and the way that Geiger has incorporated Twitter DMs and police reports throughout the book is just so COOL! It makes the book feel more authentic and also adds to that feeling of mystery. It also make you more confident that you know what happened, which only makes the twists at the end that much more shocking.
I cannot wait to see what Geiger has in store for us next!
Cover Rating: FOUR STARS
This is a really COOL cover. The way the face is partially obscured is a nod to Tessa's agoraphobia and how she hides herself from the world as well as to the fact that though Eric and Tessa have a relationship online, they don't actually know what the other looks like. They're a mystery even to one another. And it's SPARKLY. I do love me some sparkly book covers.
Swoon Worthiness:
If you didn't know, Eric is a teenage, hunky, rock god. So, yes, he's incredibly swoon-worthy. Seeing him struggle with his celebrity status and all his mental anxiety makes him a much more complex and interesting character, and the way that he tries to help Tessa through her anxieties is very endearing and swoon-inducing.
