Review:
I haven’t read a book this exhilarating and with this many
twist and turns in so long that I was loving the ride, this book was
amazing! I genuinely wanted to know what
was going to happen next and all I can say is … that ending though!!! WTH. Amazeballs, I really don’t know what else to
say it was just a shock, I need to know what happens next!
We meet an agoraphobic person named Tessa, who had something
happen to her, but we don’t know what.
She can’t step foot out of her house and her mom and boyfriend just try
to handle it to the best of their ability but its rough. Then we meet a mega popstar who lately has
been so afraid of his own shadow because fan girls are well sometimes too much
for him. There is a fear there that
something will happen to him.
The book is told through twitter, dm’s, interrogation
transcripts and of course personal thoughts of both parties. Their relationship was interesting the way it
grew from conversations, the word catfish was thrown around quite a bit, and it’s
sad but it happens a lot this day and age especially with all the social media
outlets out there it’s so easy just to steal someone’s identity. Regardless this book put a spotlight on how
some people can take things too far. It was
very intense at some moments, I found myself googling a lot of words that were
said in this book, lots of psychobabble as Eric states, but it’s
interesting. Crazy, but
interesting.
The fear of being watched is astonishing when it comes to
social media, so Eric definitely has a right to feel this fear. We as regular, normal people don’t often
think about how the famous feel, sure they have money, but they never have
privacy and sometimes that’s worth more than money. Same goes with Tessa. Her fear is real too, there are stalkers out
there, you may not even notice but that feeling it never goes away. Ah there is so much I want to say about this
book but I don’t want to give too much away.
This book comes out in June, I know two months away just keep it on your
mind, add it to your list because you are going to want to read this. If you haven’t already.
There are so many twists and turns throughout the book. I loved the way it was written in different
formats but still telling everyone’s side of the story of what was happening in
their lives. Super intense, super fascinating
and just in general great writing. I can
definitely say I would read more from this author, the story flowed easily and
you couldn’t help but turn the page fast enough to see what was going to happen
next. I can see this as a movie one day
with a major cliffhanger. OMG that
ending, I just can’t get over it. I
loved the two characters, finding the honesty and love within one another and
sharing that together. It was sweet, but
oh so worth the wait.
I loved the setting, the characters, the plot, but omg that
ending! Must read, nuff said! I have to
say also it was a very unique story, haven’t read anything like this before,
bonus in my world. I know the next book
doesn’t come out until next year but I don’t know if I can wait that long to
find out what happens!!!
You know I don’t usually reread my reviews and I usually put
them up literally right after I finish reading a book, and I have no idea what’s
going on in my mind right now because this book just blew me away. I’m still trying to calm down, let me go read
that ending again!!!
