Follow Me
I wasn't really sure what to expect from this when I started to read it. Although not a total luddite, and capable of navigating around various social media platforms, I will admit to not understanding the whole influencer/branding concept. And that's what this book is about: "Mom" influencers. I don't know if that is actually a thing. If it is, I hope the reality is better than the fictional representation.
The story centres around Chiara and Adrienne, twins who had been close, but drifted apart after Chiara married and became a mother. After one of her posts on Instagram goes viral, Chiara is invited to a weekend summit hosted by a mommy influencer. She fails to return home.
Determined to succeed where she believes the police have failed, Adrienne buys a ticket for the next summit, to find out what really happened to Chiara.
It took me a while to warm to Adrienne, but I found myself rooting for her by the halfway point. Those mommy influencers though, nope. I didn't care for them at all. They were like a cross between the Stepford Wives and the Midwich Cuckoos.
Bizarre characters aside, Follow Me was a well paced, entertaining read.
