rennegade 's review for:
Follow Me Back
by A.V. Geiger
*Thank you to NetGalley for providing an e-copy of this book for me to read and review.*
So, when I went through my obsessive phase with a particular band in the late 1990s/early 2000s, I would often dream about interacting with band members (although it would have been through my AIM buddy list instead of Twitter because I am ancient). Also, during that same time period I had a habit of catfishing people in the fandom (well before the term 'catfish' existed and before 'fandom' was really a huge, cultural thing). Maybe it is these two things that made me a good reader for this book.
It wasn't a total light-hearted, fun read. The main characters were both dealing with some heavy things - her, agoraphobia spawning from some traumatic event a few months prior, and him, unhappiness with the trajectory of his career and bitterness at obsessive fans. From there, things are definitely happening!
Though unbelievable at times, this kept my full attention for the entirety of reading it. It got a little silly heading towards the end, but I managed to be shocked at the end. I am glad that Goodreads is showing this as #1 (hopefully of at least 2??) because my immediately thought when finishing was, "Um, WHAT. Where is the rest of the book?" It was successful, and if there is a sequel, I will definitely read it, and I hope it is as enjoyable as this was!
