Violet is a mummy-vlogger with a very popular YouTube channel. One day she deletes not only her YouTube page but all of her social media accounts without explanation. This upsets many of her faithful followers, especially the one's who are stalking her for their own reasons. What follows is the lengths fans will go to for their obsession of a social media star. A very good, suspenseful page turner.

I had a lot of fun reading Unfollow Me by Charlotte Duckworth. This tight thriller had me guessing all the way up until the end. Though it starts off at a slower pace, Unfollow Me quickly speeds up into an unstoppable story about obsession, envy, social media, and our modern world.

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good thriller, and I’ll be looking forward to more by Duckworth in the future.

Thanks to Netgalley for my copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Unfollow Me is a thriller that leave you guessing until the end.

Violet, an affluent young mother, is a successful vlogger with over a million followers. Told from multiple perspectives, her most devoted fans react as Violet shares her daily struggles with motherhood and then abruptly disappears. Violet leaves no trace behind, and her fans become obsessed figuring out what happened to her. How well do we really know someone? Secrets, lies, and betrayals emerge as the story unfolds.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves thrillers. Although the book started off slowly, Unfollow Me hooks you in the end. It was beautifully written.

Thank you, Net Galley, for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What has happened to vlogger Violet Blake? Why has she shut down all her social media? Her fans speculate wildly and are desperate for the truth. This addictive and fast paced thriller had me hooked from start to finish. The story is told from multiple perspectives: Yvonne, who is married to Simon and is desperate to be a mum; Lily, a single mum to Archie, permanently broke, frequently drunk as she’s so unhappy with her life; Henry, who is married to Violet and finally from Violet herself.

This book has so many themes but one of the main things which I found so thought provoking is the well observed and pertinent commentary on social media and people’s obsession with it and addiction to it, which can be unhealthy. Here we have the cult of the social celebrity who gives hope to some, entertainment to others but can also promote envy and jealousy. Lily, for example, is not living her own life, she’s not taking proper care of Archie as she is living her life vicariously through her obsession with Violet’s life. However, what is real and what is fantasy? Add jealousy, rage, deception, guilt, lies, sadness with a dash of humour and throw in a few shocks as the revelations and truth emerges and I think you have a recipe for a bestseller! Talk about messed up lives! Whilst the characters are not likeable (except for Archie, the innocent in all the shenanigans) I did not want to stop reading about them! As for the GoMamas website, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!

Overall, a brilliant, exciting, twisty read which I loved! I’ll definitely want to read more by Charlotte Duckworth.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crooked Lane for the ARC.

This novel was terrific! The premise a YouTube mummy sensation with a huge following on all things family. The golden girl who invites her viewers into her home as she talks extremely candidly about her children and her personal life. Some might argue too candidly. But love her or hate her Superstar Vlogger has a huge following. Until the day she disappears. All social media accounts gone.

The story then focuses on two women that can’t get enough of Violet and her family. Lily and Yvonne. Both for different reasons. Keeping tabs on Violet and her family means something a little different for them both.

Piecing together where Violet might be we learn about the lives of all three women and it’s juicy!

But how much sharing is too much? Be careful who you invite into your home..

Well worth the read. One of those books you’ll want to read late into the night.

Unfollow Me is about a internet sensation named Violet. She is a popular mommy blogger. Her husbands rich, she has 3 adorable kidsOne day she shuts down all her sites. Fans begin to worry something happened to her. Was it foul play? Go into her life and her followers lives as they search for answers

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC of Unfollow Me that I was given in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Not gonna lie, this was more of a 3.5 book than a four: it was fun and scandalous and definitely the kind of book that keeps you reading, but it wasn't a standout by any stretch.

The best part, honestly, was the form: the shifting perspectives made each section feel like a tasty little snack, something to enjoy, even if it is a bit lacking on nutrition. This is a good fall book: something a bit mysterious, a bit thrilling to curl up with on a rainy or dreary day. This book reminds me of a less suspenseful Lisa Jewell book. Same sort of style, but not *quite* as well done.

Thanks Netgalley and the publisher for the advance ecopy. This is my first book by Charlotte Duckworth and it did not disappoint! Violet is a mommy vlogger who had a million followers until one day she just disappeared. No trace was left on any social media. A couple of her fans try to figure out what had caused her disappearance. Unexpected twists throughout. Hard book to put down! Highly recommend it!

I really loved this! As a blogger / avid Instagram user, I could relate to a lot of the happenings, it felt very modern. I can totally see how people become consumed with influencers, it’s a huge escapism. On one hand, it’s comforting (to see you aren’t alone) but once the influencers start making a lot of money, it can really alienate people and make people very unhappy. I’d give this a 4.5 rather than a 5, just because it was a bit slow paced in parts, and I found myself being a bit like ‘what is this relevance’ but I devoured it very quickly, love this authors work! I found what happened to Violets family to be awfully sad, rather than sinister, in a good way, when you find out what has happened it actually hurts :( but it ends happy and uplifting.

This is my first read by Charlotte Duckworth and now I look forward to reading more of her work. Unfollow Me was an interesting read involving social media. and stalking. But it went much further than the common internet stalking tales. This included affairs, tragedy, deception and new beginnings. This book keeps you interested right from the beginning and could easily make you read it in one night. I definitely enjoyed this book and will read more from this author.

I liked this book a whole lot and read it in just a few hours. It keeps a great pace and is really interesting. If you love a good family-centric mystery, you’ll dig this one!

OH dear me. I just could not finish this book. The wording had to be looked up, it made no sense, and I just felt like it was far too much work to finish. Yikes.

Thanks to NetGalley for the advance copy to review.

I appreciate the opportunity to give this book a chance, but I just can’t take the back and forth between Lily and Yvonne. Somehow it’s bordering on annoying. I’m also waiting desperately for something to happen and I guess I’ve just run out of patience. A good description of this book would be slow-build. I might be alone in my feeling about this one, others seem to really like it, but I’m just not into it.

This book was fast paced. Hard to put down. It flowed well and it was very well written. It caught hold of me and had me hooked from the start . I was literally on the edge of my seat reading this book.

I really enjoyed this book, a new author whose style of writing kept me gripped, I was reading whilst cooking. An interesting story line that covered a topic I knew very little about but I now realise how people can become addicted to other people’s lives. Lots of twists and turns and some very unexpected parts!

I really enjoyed this book, it was easy to read and follow and one of those books you can just whizz through, very well written.

The story is told from several narratives, which I particularly enjoyed as you got to know the characters and their backgrounds well. The story focuses around a ‘mummy influencer’ called Violet whose life is in the spotlight along with her husband and children.
Bring in characters Lily (lonely and single mother) and Yvonne (with a dark past and pregnant), both who follow and are maybe to some extinct obsessed with Violet, both for their own reasons.

The book slowly unravels how both Lily and Yvonne are drawn into the world of Violet and both have their own agendas when Violet suddenly disappears offline with all of her accounts overnight!

Really good read and good how it explores modern themes such as influences and the impact of social media.

I enjoyed this book. It's well written and was easy to binge on.

It felt like a guilty pleasure reading it, almost like snooping in someone's diary.

I did find it hard to follow in places simply because the story is narrated from different viewpoints but I think it is a book that would be even better on a second reading.

The social media angle gives the book a topical and relevant edge. I think this book would be a good choice for a book group as I think it would divide opinion and give rise for plenty of debate.

I wasn't disappointed with the ending. It does come together nicely and it's clever how it works out. You almost want to curse the author for saying "you got me"!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publishers for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Violet Young is a social media celebrity. She started her vlog Violet is Blue to bring awareness to post natal depression which she suffered from after the birth of her children. Every brand wants her sponsorship and she even has a book coming out soon. Mother's everywhere log in each week when she updates to see what is up with her three beautiful children, her handsome husband and their beautiful home. Violet is someone you can really look up to. She is the aspiration of mommies everywhere until she takes down all of her social media accounts. What happened to Violet? Rumors surface of a loud argument, an ambulance coming to their home and even old allegations of domestic abuse against Violet's husband.....

The story is alternately narrated by two very different women who are regular viewers of Violet's blog for very different reasons.

I really enjoyed the way the story was revealed layer by layer like peeling an onion. Each character had their secrets and none were what they first appeared, even Violet.

Violet is a very popular mummy vlogger on the internet. She's known for posting the ins and outs of her family life until one day the updates just stop. This novel is written from the perspective of different people who know Violet through her online persona and explores the mystery of her 'disappearance'. It's a fairly light and enjoyable read. I didn't find it overly gripping but it did hold my attention somewhat throughout.

I really didn't think a mystery about a mommy vlogger would hold my interest, but was pleasantly surprised by Unfollow Me. The mystery, as much as anything, was about what the mystery was, which I found refreshing and at least somewhat compelling.
