A decent popcorn thriller. I won't remember anything a week from now, but it was fun, although predictable
Despite the plot twist about the guy's identity being spoiled for me, it was a really creepy and disturbing concept. There also was another twist that I wasn't fully expecting though.
The CREEPINESS of the main guy was so terrifying and really gets under your skin cause you know it's not fiction at all there are so many people in the world like that just lurking in the dark. The story highlights the dangers that follow social media, especially when it comes to having a public presence.
At moments it was hard to feel bad for the main character because she was such a narcissist. It gave me the same internal conflict as “People Like Her” where the main character isn't a great person and you wish they weren't famous, but you also want them to realize there's dangerous people out there and not get harmed. It gave me the heebie jeebies imaging the terrible stuff that could potentially happen to real life instagrammers and anyone that puts there presence out there.
love what she's done with Cat's character. reading from Audrey's perspective, while yes, she is definitely self-absorbed, makes you see good in her too, trying to help Cat with her disaster of a love life, which makes the contrast even more stark when you see her through Cat's eyes. seeing her spiral with her desire to succeed at something, make sure the past stays hidden and obviously growing annoyance with her friend: the ending was just IT.
hopefully Max's train of thought in the end doesn't mean that this book will get ruined by being turned into some sort of series though
