This book since the start gave me ''You'' vibes. It's similar to that book but not to the point where you keep comparing constantly the two books to each other.
It was a fun read in that creepy thriller way. It's has great twists and it kept me reading. I finished it in two sittings.
It's offers a scary insight in the effect social media can have on people that offer every detail of their life online with their followers. There were moments in this book that made me want to delete my social media accounts and throw my laptop in the garbage.
The multiple POVs were interesting to follow and the main characters weren't that likeable but felt real enough. HIM, the stalker wasn't nothing like Joe from You. Joe made me like him and question my sanity cause of it but this guy lacked that creepy charm.
I did guess who the stalker was when he was introduced to the story but I didn't expect that twist toward the end. It definitely was a great twist.
Overall, it was a good thriller and I'm definitely interested in reading more by this author.

*I received a free copy of Follow Me from Gallery Books. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review which is honest and unbiased.*
Follow me started out fairly strong, with chapters from HIM, Audrey and Cat. I enjoyed the creepy feel of the story and even if I found Audrey to be extremely self-absorbed I still liked her.
The main draw for me was the danger of social media - especially for a female influencer. And when Audrey moved from New York to Washington DC, one of her followers was very happy indeed.
While I found Follow Me to have a lot of promise, it didn't fully live up to its potential in my opinion. It was very slow paced, and the mystery HIM wasn't that difficult to figure out.
This was a buddy-read with Jennifer which made reading the book better, as we sent e-mails back and forth for a few days sharing our thoughts.

I think I would have to like the main character a lot more to actually enjoy this book.

An entertaining, albeit predictable read.
This book has the usual cast of characters, the same story line, and the same outcome. Unfortunately this genre is getting increasingly difficult to write, and I'm always pleasantly shocked when I can't predict the twist.
Alas, not the case with this book.
But still they are always entertaining enough.
I did like the writing style of this book, The back and forth chapters between the two friends and "him" the stalker, I thought it was really clever.

This is similar to You but nowhere near as good.
I hated Audrey, I found her so shallow and irritating, but maybe that was the point.
A cautionary tale on the dangers of posting too much to social media.
I knocked off a star as I worked out who the stalker was early on.

I'm scared. Like legit no kidding. Never expected this behaviour from Cat. The story itself is kind of familiar, social media person, obsessive follower, and stalker. Though I REALLY recommend reading it has so many different details that make it worth reading. I can't believe someone would actually think of murdering their best friend. LIKE WTH! Really recommend! Actually, this just reminded me of the book In My Dreams I Hold a Knife
