I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

Thank you so much for this ARC!

I ended up listening to the audiobook of this title and loved it. I enjoyed each POV - Lily, Ivonne and Henry as we uncovered how each were connected to the Violet, the influencer who went missing.

Social Media tropes are at the top of my list right now and this did not disappoint. This focused less on the "perfect" lives on influencers and more on how an influencer actually effects the lives of their followers. Lily was my favorite character - she was a bit sad and desperate for a connection.

A light thriller that will keep you guessing.

A mommy blogger vanishes and her social media accounts disappear. Speculation ensues about her husband and her life - was everything as perfect as she made it seem?

An interesting and realistic look at oversharing and social media in today's age.

This was an ok read. A little bland and not much what I expected. It seemed too much like all the other thrillers I've read before.

As someone who kind of abhors the idea of influencers (no, I am not going to fund your fabulous fake lifestyle with my time), I appreciate a book like Charlotte Duckworth’s Unfollow Me because it helps me understand the how and why of people’s obsession with social media stars. In this cunning suspense thriller, an uber-popular mommy vloger Violet goes off the social media grid without warning, deleting all of her accounts and leaving her millions of rabid fans hanging, wondering what could possibly compel her to make such a drastic move. How dare she go dark with no explanation? Doesn’t she owe that at least to the fans who made her?

Unfollow Me tells the story of two of Violet’s fans - Lily and Yvonne. Violet’s social media star rose by her confessing her struggles as a mom, and young mother Lily can relate. Being the single mom of a toddler son is by no means easy, but Violet’s perfect life gives her hope. Yvonne, on the other hand, would do anything for a child of her own, but it seems her husband is practically sterile. What she wouldn’t give to have a brood of adorable daughters like the effervescent Violet. When Violet deletes her social media accounts, Lily and Yvonne will do anything to figure out just what happened to their favorite influencer. The question is, how far are these fans willing to go to show their devotion?

Social media stories are having their moment in the spotlight, and why not? With people spending on average over 2 hours a day scrolling through their newsfeed, could there be a more relevant and relatable topic? Where Duckworth’s novel differs from others is in that it is told from the POV of the fans, as opposed to the influencer herself. This gives us a glimpse into the crazy that is influencer fandom, and really shows the ugly side of people’s behavior on social media.

I found Unfollow Me to be utterly compelling, fresh, and intriguing. I listened to an audiobook production of this novel, and am pleased to say that I played it on 1x speed, which is a sign of a book that I am enjoying enough to savor. I appreciated the multiple perspectives of Violet’s disappearance provided through this narrative, and the little twists and turns that Duckworth inserted throughout the book. She kept surprising me with new information, making me think and feel differently about the characters and changing my opinion of what I believed happened to Violet. In all, I was entertained throughout this thriller,, and can wholeheartedly recommend it to readers who enjoy suspense with a social media twist.

The premise behind this book was quite good. In execution, however, it was lacking something. Therefore, I give this one three stars.

Sorry I could not finish this book in time. I just could not get into this one. I don't post a review if its bad. Thank you for the opportunity.

I enjoyed this multidimensional mystery so much and couldn’t put it down. Charlotte Duckworth definitely hits on new topics we’re the first generation to be faced with like the dangers of social media and false perceptions. She then took those dilemmas, shook them up, threw in some added intrigue and handed us this wonderful book. So good!

Social media plot lines always capture my attention and if it’s a thriller I’m even more interested so this one appealed greatly to me. Loved the alternating perspectives and it kept me on my toes.

An intriguing read that kept me guessing. A fast paced read that I enjoyed enough to continue to the end. A solid 3 stars from me.

Great writing, easy to follow plot that kept me entertained through the entire book. I definitely like this author!

Fabulous plot which I could not put down. Brilliant characters, and twists and turns. Highly recommend to other fans of this genre!!

I loved this book! It was a riveting page-turner that I could not put down and the many twists made the book all that much better. The characters were solid and interesting and the plot held my attention the entire time. The ending was also very satisfying. I would read more titles from this author!

I trudged through this one. I really should have stopped and put it down, but I wanted to give it a fighting chance. Instead, I kind of wasted my night time reading time with this one.

While I know that trolls on the internet are a real and scary thing, this one just missed the mark. The concept of a stalker of a youtube influencer has serious potential. However, the cast of characters, their connections, and the jumping around of their storylines didn't impress me.

Read in one sitting. Extremely relevant in this day and age. . A perfect domestic psychological thriller and a very fast read/page turner. A fabulous debut for Charlotte Duckworth. Definitely a must read.

This one was one of the better social media thrillers I've read in a while. It was well thought out and executed very well. I liked the multiple perspectives, which can be very tricky to do, but I think in this case, it really helped the story move along. While this is classified as a thriller, it reads more like a cautionary tale to me.

Oh, the terrors of social media! I loved this book and enjoyed reading this mystery. It was propulsive and well done.

Loved the social media theme and the catchiness of the plot, hooks you in for sure! I would definitely rather deem this as as mystery drama as opposed to a thriller though, so my expectations were not met in that sense.

I enjoyed this one a lot. Her writing is fantastic, she grips you from the very beginning and intertwines chill and thrill with underlying creepy vibes. Def will look for more titles by Duckworth in the future!

When mommy blogger Violet unexpectedly deleted all social media platforms without any notice, her fans become obsessed with finding out what happened. Some speculate that she has just become fed up with the attention, while others think something more sinister is at play and Violet might not be okay.

I’m not sure what I was expecting with this read, but it was definitely so much more than I expected it to be and I’m shocked that I haven’t heard more about it and seen more people reading it! It’s definitely unputdownable and the ending is full of suspense! Right from the first sentence I was hooked. All of the characters are brilliantly written and have distinct personalities, while it’s written from multiple POVs, it’s easy to tell which characters perspective we’re reading from.

The ending was brilliant and I loved how Lily snd Yvonne tied into “knowing” Violet. Truly a roller coaster! Even during the “slower” portions of the book I was unable to put it down and desperate to find out what happened to Violet!
