Alex is a very successful social media influencer who spreads positivity and has just reached one million followers. When Alex wakes up the next, after a night of celebrating, he feed is filled with negative comments and trolls. Apparently she posted about another influencer, shaming her and completely bashing her. Even though Alex was drunk that night, she is sure she didn’t post it. But the damage has already been done ad a spiral of hate is coming down on her and her family. With that, her personal assistant, AC, is now missing. AC has full access to Alex’ account, Unapologetically Alex. And also a lot of knowledge about Alex. As Alex desperately tries to get in touch with AC, the trolls start threatening her, but also her twin daughters.
I had never read anything from Kimberly Belle before, this novel intrigued me. “The Personal Assistant” is very fast paced and uses the effect of social media in this really strong and solid thriller. One thing I always love in thrillers, is multiple points of view. Belle also used that in “The Personal Assistant”, with Alex, her husband Patrick and AC as the three narrators of the book. Especially the mysterious AC is really interesting to read about.
I’m very impressed by Belle’s ability to write a thriller that keeps you guessing. It has some nice plot twists, that I really enjoyed. Time for me to explore more of Kimberly Belle’s work.
