At first I was concerned that I would not enjoy this book.... I didn't understand how the characters were intertwined or where the story was going. However I am glad I stuck it out. I ended up really enjoying this. I look forward to the next book by this author.

Wow! A progressive thriller! I was sucked in and needed to know what was coming . I could not put this book down! Keep them coming

A thriller with plenty of suspense and a modern twist.

The novel tells the story of two women, Lily and Yvonne, at quite different places in their lives who both obsessively follow a vlogger named Violet whose social media accounts mysteriously disappear one day.

While the main plot of what happened to Violet and why she has so suddenly disappeared is obviously the main thread of the book, it is the stories of Lily and Yvonne which have the most twists.

The book is mainly told from the point of view of three characters, Lily, Yvonne and Henry (Violet's husband). You quickly get used to the style and the differences in the characters cleverly avoid this mechanism becoming cumbersome. Supporting characters are well written and you feel for them all in this story.

It is a definite page-turner as you discover more about the characters as they search for answers to what has happened to Violet.

I really liked this book and I give it a solid 4 stars. It was interesting and definitely relevant. Who can’t relate to being curious about influencer life? I thought the author did well with the theme of obsession and when it goes too far. I felt the ending was abrupt and it was fairly predictable. However, I would still recommend it.

Unfollow Me has the perfect plot - two unstable women obsessed with a social blogger, loving and envious of her life and family but unable to stop reading every word, scouring every photo and commenting on social chat boards. More of a cautionary tale than a psychological thriller although there are plenty of surprises and twists along the way. No character is really likely likable, the blogger, Violet, really only appears through her carefully constructed blog, the reader never really knows what’s going on, theories and conspiracies abound, all in all a true representation of our social media world. Or our real world.

This book was SO good, I forced myself to put it down because I didn't want to finish it. And the ending was perfect. I loved the writing, the characters, and the plot was quite unusual but definitely effective and engrossing, Ten stars. I highly recommend this book! Thank you NetGalley!

It was well worth going straight from ‘the rival’ the authors 1st book onto this book, I guess the 2nd book is always a ‘will it be as good’ etc for both author and reader
Well it is!
This book revolves around Violet, a youtube influencer and what happens when she ‘disappears’ from Social Media and how 2 intense fans, ok stalkers, for very different reasons miss her and intend to find out what has ‘gone on’
Intermingled with snippets from forums where other fans discuss where she might be you can see how fickle people are and how a few seeds of doubt turn into dislike, and we all know and have seen how this happens with famous people
The writing about social media and stalker fans is more popular than ever but this book adds extra dimensions and stories about the stalkers into the mix and it explains how they have got into this way of life, I’m not saying what as will spoil it and the fab layered stories about love, revenge, lust and lies
Told, again with aplomb and real 2019 narration, characters to love and a few to hate I soooo enjoyed this book and cant wait for Book 3
Very Addictive, Very Dark and Very Real/ Current
10/10
5 Stars

I am STILL thinking about Unfollow Me after turning the last page last night. With social media being as big as it is now and everyone following one another for different purposes, it felt scarily real at times and made me question myself and how much I share online. I was intrigued straight away with Unfollow Me as Violet's disappearance is told by two women, Yvonne and Lily, both we have no idea their involvement until nearer the end. I also liked the gossip website entries throughout. I think this is so cleverly written, it hooks you in from the first page and will have you glued right until the end. I was shocked by the ending and it certainly wasn't what I was expecting. I'll be recommending this to everyone I can!

Fast, thrilling read about a “missing” vlogger, who was stalking her, and surprises on what really happened. It was an engaging book and I thought the characters were well thought out. I honestly don’t think kids’ online presence should be out in the world until they can *at least* consent, but locked down from the public, even then.

Thank you to Crooked Lane Books and Netgalley for a preview of this title. Violet, a mommy vlogger with a million subscribers on Youtube suddenly disappears and all her social media channels have been shut down. Several subscribers are concerned that something may have happened to Violet. Two, Lily and Yvonne, share their reasons why in mostly alternating chapters.

As with most modern technology, I could see this happening. I have my favorite podcasters and worry when they miss a regular episode.

Duckworth is definitely an author to watch. This plot is innovative and twisting. She does a great job of luring in the reader and keeping them guessing. I definitely recommend this book.

Give this book a chance, i was given a chance to read this via Netgalley and i was a little unsure on how it would turn out. I am glad to say i was happily surprised, the synopsis doesnt do this book justice. I loved how developed the characters was and how we came to really understand why they were so dependent on following a "mommy vlogger". We understand why they struggle when she seemingly vanishes. This is told from several view points that run together seamlessly and that are all relevant to the final revelation. This story has all the great elements needed, suspense and mystery, heartache and loss and even love. I recommend picking this book up and i hope you love it as much as i did.

I will rate Unfollow Me by Charlotte Duckworth a 5/5 stars. This was by far a great book to pull me out of a reading slump. The storyline is engaging as well as intriguing. The book starts off with social media followers/fans inquiring what in the world happened to viral YouTuber Violet who had a very successful channel about being a married mother of three suffering from post-natal depression. When all of her social media accounts disappear overnight, it sends her fans spiraling and wondering just what could have happened? Many fans begin to think that her husband, Henry, is to blame and must've done something terrible to her. The story is told from three points of view: Henry's, Lily (a devoted fan turned stalker) and Yvonne (a woman with an interesting connection to Violet and her husband). This book will leave you questioning: Is it really worth putting all of your business out on social media just for a little money or fame? That's a question that Violet will be left grappling with answering. All that glitters on social media isn't gold.

What I enjoyed about this book:
There was an element of surprise hanging around throughout the entire book. I loved it. Oh, it was wonderful weaving together how the three main voices of the story were all connected. I could tell straight off the bat that something was more than a little off with Lily. Whew... That woman was some kind of mental. I enjoyed learning just how Yvonne knew Henry and how their past was intertwined as well as their present.

What I did not enjoy about this book:
Henry was such an unlikable character. I did not fancy him in the slightest. Not at all.
The first few chapters where Yvonne is speaking sort of bored me before I realized that she was more than just a social media follower of Violet's. Once the story progressed, her voice became more interesting. I did figure out who her baby was by easily, though. That wasn't a shocker in the least bit.
I wish that Violet could've had more of a fire lit under her at the end of the book. It just seems as if she left the story feeling and being defeated.

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and author for a copy of this book in the exchange for an honest review.

This book, y’all!!! It is amazing!! So many good twists and turns and path crossing. Loved it!! Y’all need to read this one!!

This is the first book I have read by Charlotte Duckworth and i loved it! I look forward to reading more by this author. The topic of social media seems to be a popular one in the new books coming out and this was a great read. I loved the author's writing style. Thank you for the advanced copy. I will definitely be recommending Unfollow Me!

This novel was a harrowing look into how social media influences, and basically runs our lives. The main star of the book, even though there is almost no "contact"with her, would be Violet. An influencer, a social media vlogger, the perfect mom and wife. She vlog about everything in her life, until one morning she just disappears. Enter two followers of her, Lily and Yvonne that try to find Violet, each for their own personal reason. I'll be honest, in the middle the book lagged bit for me, but it soon picked up, and the different points of view, and story came came together nicely in the end, and for once I did not see the ending coming.
Recommended for anyone that needs to get a reality check regarding their social presence.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Crooked Lane Books and the author, Charlotte Duckworth, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of Unfollow Me in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I thought this book provided a good quick read. The storyline was well thought out and written with well developed characters. Was a bit disappointed with the ending though as, after all the build up, the conclusion felt a bit flat.
Worth a read.

This book was good! It took me a little while to get into the story. It did jump around a bit, and sometimes it took me a bit to figure who's point of view I was reading. Other than that it was enjoyable.

I received this ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Most of us spend at least part of every day on social media and for two “followers” in this book, life is about to get very interesting. Lily and Yvonne both adore vlogger Violet Young. They, and a million other followers can’t wait to see what words of wisdom Violet will bestow on her mommy blog. But then one day Violet, or at least her online personality disappear. All her social media accounts are wiped clean overnight. Has Violet simply tired of being on all the time, or has something worse happened to her? It took me a while to get into this book, but once I did, I was sucked in. Social media is scary as hell

This is the first book I have read by Charlotte Duckworth, and surely won’t be the last, considering I finished it in one day!

Violet is a mommy vlogger, video blogging about raising her children and going through postpartum depression. She has over 1 million followers on YouTube, and hundreds of thousands on Instagram and Facebook. One day, out of the blue, all traces of Violet are erased from the internet. The links her fans saved to instantly view her pages are dead. She has seemingly disappeared off the face of the planet without any known reason.

Violet has gained many fans over the years, and some anti-fans as well. Different characters lead the narrative as a couple of her fans try to find out what happened to Violet. Could the reason be darker than anyone expected?

I was completely gripped with this suspenseful novel from the start. The voices of Lily, Yvonne, and Henry are so well thought out and written that made it very hard for me to put down the book except to sleep for the night. I was itching to discover the ending, and even found some twists on the way that I didn’t expect. I really came to care about the characters as well, and what would happen to them as certain things were revealed in the plot. This is the kind of tale that you don’t want to end, and those are pretty rare for me. A+ from me.

Thank you to NetGalley, Charlotte Duckworth, and Quercus for an ARC. I will be recommending this book to others.

I enjoyed this book although at times it left me confused as to who was speaking. Parts of it sad and parts showing a couple of not very nice characters.
