# Do You Follow ? by # J. C. Bidonde is a outstanding novel. The story has a twist that will shock you at the end. This wonderful story telling is why I enjoy thriller's. And I honestly try never to give any of the story away.

This book was so good! I want to see more from this author in the future!! I couldn't put this book down. What a page turner!!!

I absolutely loved this book! I found it hard to put down. I highly recommend reading it! You won’t be disappointed.

Super interesting premise and a great, fast pace! Really glad I picked this one up, even though the writing wasn’t as strong as I would’ve hoped.

This is the first time I’ve read this author and I have to say I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about her writing style, but it didn’t take me long to figure out—I like her style!

I love reading books about twins. Who doesn’t? They are some of the most interesting people you ever come across. The fact that most of them can sense what the other is feeling, even finish each other’s sentences is astonishing to say the least. But, as Alexa soon found out, loving your sibling is one thing, but accepting your twin is a whole other ball of wax.

Alexa and Beth were identical twins in every sense of the word. They looked the same, talked the same, did everything the same. Mirror images if you will. Alexa was living at home with her father. Her mother had passed a few years earlier and her estranged twin Beth was living on her own in a psychiatric facility. The twins’ mother’s death may or may not have contributed to the reason Beth was in this facility (you have to read the book, wink-wink!), but nonetheless Beth was finally getting out.

Well, as luck would have it, Alexa had applied for a job and got it. The only problem was the job was in New York City and her dad wasn’t that excited to have Alexa move away from their home to go to New York. Even though her dad was a bit overprotective, he realized that Alexa was an adult and could make her own decisions to do what she wished. She packed up all her worldly possessions and headed for the Big Apple.

No sooner had her father lifted the last box and placed it inside her tiny apartment and she was getting excited being on her very own for the first time, up pops Beth. Alexa wanted her freedom and independence and Beth longed to be in her twin’s life. How she found out where Alexa lived was beyond her, but with that twin intuition, she couldn’t go anywhere in the world without her twin knowing about it. Instead of grilling her sister about how she found out where she lived, after much prodding and debate, Alexa agreed to allow Beth to live with her. Alexa knew their father would be infuriated knowing that Beth was staying with her so she managed to keep her twin’s reappearance quiet.

Beth didn’t like that Alexa had a new job. Of course, that would mean she’d have to spend the majority of her day at home doing nothing. What was a girl to do? Meanwhile as Alexa was becoming acclimated with her new job at FLLW, she met and fell head-over-heels in love with its client, Curt Kempton, the chef. Curt hired FLLW to assist in getting his follows up on YouTube so he could become the great influencer he knew he could be. He did well for himself, but not as well as he’d hope. Alexa was charged with coming up with a plan to help get Curt’s follows up.

She didn’t plan on falling in love with the client. The heart wants what it wants and it definitely wanted Curt. They secretly began dating and then eventually he moves in with Alexa and Beth and that, readers, is where this story soars out of orbit! Holy cow!

I must admit I figured part of the story out in the very beginning, but that ending nearly knocked me out. I just wasn’t expecting that. Bidonde did an amazing job in pushing this story forward and making you pay close attention to all the little details. This is one of those stories where you don’t want to skip over anything because the very thing you accidentally skip could be something major down the way. Wow, I was extremely impressed with this author and her story.

From what I’ve read this is Bidonde’s first novel and I have to say I love her voice. She’s an awesome writer and she gives you just what you need to keep it moving. I really like her style as I mentioned in the very beginning of my review.

Pretty quick read, the characters were superficial & I predicted the twist from early on, but I enjoyed the book.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

This was a very good psychological drama. The story captures the subjects of social media and mental illness. What happened to the twins during their childhood? There are a few surprises.
Many thanks to Greenleaf Book Group and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book has an interesting concept, but it was very predictable from the beginning. I did finish reading it just to find out what happens.

This was a really clever and interesting story that I could not figure out. I was thankful for the epilogue that tied the story together. This is a bit of a heavy read for mental illness.

Summary: Alexa lives a sheltered life with her widowed father, feeling stifled by his helicopter parenting. When she secures a marketing job and apartment in New York City―much to her father’s and therapist’s concern―Alexa has high hopes of finally sneaking her way into adulthood. But her newfound freedom is cut short when her estranged twin sister Beth, after a long stint in a psychiatric setting, unexpectedly shows up at the doorstep of her tiny apartment.

Alexa, too, has spent time at the Weinstein Center. But she's determined to lead a normal life now and soon begins to date a YouTuber client. According to Beth, something isn’t quite right with Curt, but Alexa shrugs her clingy sister’s warnings off. It’s Beth who’s crazy, after all . . . As the sister bond grows strained over Alexa’s relationship and career success, questions mount, and secrets unfold, revealing the wickedly dark shared history of the twin siblings. What exactly happened when the twins were only nine that set this vile trajectory in motion?

Things get more complicated, and one treacherous act threatens everything Alexa has been working toward. It will be on her―and Beth―to claw their way out of this situation.

Overall found it to be just fine very predictable and wasn’t overwhelming excited for it

Ever read a book where you think you have it all figured out? You pat yourself on the back thinking how clever you are - It was so obvious what was going on to only get to the end and realized you got 99% of it wrong? This one is so great- I would definitely recommend to friends.

Thank you Netgalley, Greenleaf book group and JC Bidonde for this book.

Wow I loved it! This slow burn thriller kept me hooked the WHOLE time. I didn't see that twist coming and I was totally loving it.

I loved it! I recommend this for anyone who needs a twin thriller with a killer twist!

I think I had too high of expectations for this book, and it didn't work out unfortunately. I will have to try again. Thanks for the ecopy.

I absolutely loved this book! It was such a quick read too. I swore this book was going to be about social media killing or something, but I was to ally wrong! The play on words for title was stinking brilliant. Literally once the main twist hit you were like no way!! Total jaw drop. Then the end?!?! Omgosh!! I would love for this author to do a sequel even though she said she doesn’t have plans for one. But I highly recommend this one!!!

Do You Follow? was a great quick read that kept me interested until the end. It is definitely geared to a YA audience and explores many modern issues and relevant topics. It was predictable for me, but it didn't take away from the suspenseful twists. The characters were well done and relatable as well as complex.

Book received for free through NetGalley

Read 52% of the way into this book but kept starting and stopping. I had trouble getting into it and figured it was better to review as is. It was written well just not my cup of tea.

This was a well-written and very entertaining thriller. Although I figured out the twist, I like the fact that things could have gone in a different direction, This was a quick and enjoyable read, and also very timely.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book.

This was a very good book. It was a quick and very entertaining read. I didn't have the twist figured out right away but I remembered seeing all the signs once it was revealed. I highly recommend this book!

I wanted to love this one, and if it weren't for another book I read this year that had the same premise I probably would've given this 4 stars. I do believe that this will appeal to a lot of readers, but unfortunately I had seen the end coming a mile away. DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU- I still really enjoyed it, I thought it was written well and it was fast-paced. It had well-placed hints and slights of tongue that drew me in and you're really rooting for the characters. Even though I couldn't rate this higher due to my OWN previously read list, I would recommend this to friends and family.

A psychological thriller that will keep you guessing.
I thought I had it all figured out, but I was totally wrong!
A great read. Thank you NetGalley!
