For casual readers, this book is an entertaining read.

For readers like me…the twist in this book has become so popular in psychological thrillers recently, that I spotted it with the first few pages. With that said, it was at least handled in a moderately more informed manner than others I’ve read; The author at least did some research. However, because the twist was so obvious to me, it was hard for me invest in this title. I just wanted to skip to the end.

With that said, there were still a few unique plot points that I enjoyed, particularly revolving around the issue of accountability.

A really strong debut novel!

This story finds its protagonist finally starting to feel like a true adult when her newfound independence is interrupted by the reappearance of her twin, who hasn't moved past their trouble past.

This one was good, and I was listening attentively for the first half, but it wasn't really anything unique and I wasn't really sure where it was going. Then about halfway through there was a twist I did not see coming. I read at least a thriller a week, usually two, and I was honestly 100% surprised by the turn the plot took. From that point on it was an absolutely compulsive listen.

It's an extremely strong debut, and I am definitely looking forward to more from this author! :)

Thanks NetGalley, for the advance audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

This was an interesting one - I felt like it was pretty predictable and was patting myself on the back for my sleuthing skills right until the very end when BAM - curveball!! So I have to give it some credit for really throwing me for a loop.

There were some timely and relevant bits about the pandemic but the story took place in an alternate reality where the vaccine solved the pandemic. I wish!!

But as I mentioned, many parts were quite predictable and the characters were just surface vessels to use to move the plot. They weren’t well developed and there wasn’t growth, something I really look for in a book.

Overall, not a bad read. Story was predictable but somewhat engaging and the authors writing style was not offensive. The narrator was just fine. Nothing special but nothing terrible, taking away from the audiobook either. Give it a try!!

How I loved this book!!!!!
I was completely in the dark when I startet listening to this Audiobook.
Basically it is the story of twin sisters with a 'but' of a history. The one seems to have done pretty well while the other still seems to struggle now they are grown up. One sister envying the other- nothing too special about this? well wait and see!
this story messed up my mind like I love it when diving into a psychological thriller!
just enjoy the ride!
by the way: the narrator Marnye Young does a great job!
Thank you so much #NetGalley #Greenleaf Book Group # J.C. Bidonde for an advanced listening version

The premis of this book intrigued me and I was excited to listen to the audiobook. For a debut novel, this one was good. Not great, but it held it's own in the mass of psychological mysterious out there right now. I figured out one of the two twists by chapter two. The second twist was something I pondered, but didn't think I could be right because I thought it would be too over-the-top. Well, J.C. Bidonde was not afraid to go over-the-top, and it worked! All in all, this was a quick, enjoyable story and I will be looking forward to more from this author.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for an arc audio copy of this book.

This is a quick read, and I really enjoyed the audio. I was intrigued from the start and my attention was held the entire way through. It starts off with Alexa getting a job in New York City, and she has to start quickly that next Monday, which means she has to find an apartment over the weekend. This seems to really stress out her dad, whom she currently lives with in Connecticut, and we immediately realize there is a reason he is concerned but don’t quite know why, and off we go.

I mostly had this one figured out but there were a couple of twists that I did not see coming and caught me off guard in a good way. I really enjoyed this one and am glad I picked it up.

Thank you to @greenleafbookgr and @NetGalley for the digital copy to review.

Two sisters must come to terms with secrets from the their past when one moves to NYC to start a new job in this psychological thriller. I liked the frenetic pace of this and the plot enveloped me immediately and the narration worked really well in conveying a great deal of chaos and suspense in the audio version. The short chapters also helped with this. Unfortunately, I figured out what was going on pretty much right away so there were few surprises. That in combination with this being a plot that’s been done many times before in this genre made this just mediocre for me. With that said, fans of psychological thrillers should definitely give this a shot.

This was an all right book. It did take me a while to realize what was going on (the twist) but once I did, it was rather obvious. I wasn’t too fond of the ending, but all in all, it was pretty good.

Reviewing
Do You Follow
By J.C. Bidonde

In Do You Follow readers will find an exciting family drama that takes a turn down a rather dark road. While the first half of the book focuses on setting the stage the explosive second have more than makes up for the slow start. Bidonde has penned an entertaining and exciting puzzle that takes readers beyond the expected.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Four entertained stars for this physiologically based murder mystery. 14+ for subject matter and mental health and death triggers.

This was a very good thriller, and I say that mostly because I didn't anticipate the ending. At all. At first I felt that I had some sort of vague idea of what was really going on, but I was very wrong. Twins Alexa and Beth seem to have a very dark and mysterious history, most of which is kept from the reader. As the plotline continues, we find out a bit more about what REALLY happened with these twins, and what that means for Alexa as she navigates her new life. Beth sends Alexa crazy warnings about Curt, but Alexa shrugs it off... Beth IS the crazy one, isn't she?

This one was definitely worth the read!

a weird, strange little thriller. brief synopsis: Alexa and Beth are identical twins. Alexa’s boyfriend Kurt is dead, and Beth did it but is nowhere to be found. Alexa is on trial for Kurt’s murder. I chose to read DO YOU FOLLOW because of its marketing as a social media thriller. But it’s really not. it’s more of THE GOOD SISTER except less character development and more psycho-thriller.

Narrator 5 stars
Great voice

Story 3
The premise of this book was fantastic, however it has been done 50,000 times before so if you read alot of books (as I do) it's very obvious the direction this is going the minute we meet a particular character.

And (incoming rant here) unless a character is sick or dying from Covid can authors/editors and publishing house please for the love of God STOP WRITING/MENTIONING IT WHEN IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE STORY!

4,5 stars.
And who was the biggest psycho? Alexa or Beth?
*drumroll*
CURT!
Yes, the victim takes the cake as psycho of the week in this tense psychological thriller that feels way too real. I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns, Alexa was exceptionally sympathetic, Beth was fascinating (so was Alexa, by the way) and the twist was very well written and woven seamlessly into the story.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an audio-arc!

Took me a little while to get into this book but once I had I wanted to know what was going to happen. A little bit predictable and has been done before but it was an enjoyable audio book and I would recommend it to others.

This was an interesting listen. There are little hints the reader/listener can pick up on and you think you know what's going on, but the truth remains just out of reach. I liked the premise and think the story was woven well. Thank you for the opportunity to review this title.

Really enjoyed this book even though when the twist came I was super confused and had to reread a few parts. Very good, a little sad of an ending but I enjoyed the whole story. Thank you NetGalley for this ARC

Review of Do You Follow? By: J.C. Bidonde

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Whew. This was a fast paced, exciting thriller. I listened to it in one day with time to spare. I was very engrossed in the story. I definitely will read more from this author in the future.

Quick synopsis: Alexa has struggled with mental health concerns after a childhood accident and subsequently her mother’s death. She is doing better, though, and gets her dream job in New York City and leaves her dad to move there. Upon arrival her twin sister, Beth, appears in her doorstep needing a place to stay and she reluctantly agrees. Her job starts off well when she sees a familiar face who is her new client. His name is Curt and they met previously when he was employed by her psychiatric hospital. Now he has hired her company to help him get his YouTube persona up and running. They fall quickly into a real relationship but Beth disapproves. I won’t say more for spoiler sake!

Big thank you to @netgalley for the audio copy of this one.

Thank you to NetGalley for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. I will say I enjoyed the narrator on this one. I feel like the calming tone of her voice really led you down a path, it made the twists and turns in the story seem to come out of nowhere.

There were several times in the beginning of this book that I was sure I knew exactly what was going on, and I'll admit I was tempted to put it down, but I'm so glad I didn't. During the second half there were so many revelations that I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. It's been a very long time since a book surprised me this many times.

Alexa and Beth are twins, those rare identical twins that no one can tell apart and while that makes them special, it also makes for a stressful situation that can bring out the worst in one or both of them.

Beth is the louder, more outspoken, stronger of the two, saying what she wants doing what she wants and not really caring about what the consequences might be. The one that feels like she can do it all on her own as long as she has Alexa on her side no one else matters.

Alexa spent her entire life trying to balance her world. She's the proverbial good twin, she follows the rules, is kind, and does her best to be a good person and try and fix the problems that she has, and she has a lot of them, the world, her mom, dad, and her sister. And even with those challenges she was doing well until she starts remembering, finding things she had done that she doesn't remember doing, finding horrible things that she blames on Beth but in the end has to take accountability for if only that journal had stayed hidden, or been destroyed.

These sisters were tied together in ways that most people will never understand, both in life and in death, Alexa knows she should say goodbye to Beth but how can she, it's easier to just go with the flow, she better than anyone knows you don't want to see Beth angry.

Even Dr Greer, the one person that tried to help both Alexa and Beth couldn't break the bond of these sisters, Alexa had to be the one to do that, but the good Doctor did everything he could to help in every way he could.

Their lives crash together with the force of a hurricane thanks in part to a man, a man that wanted to be famous, no matter the cost, who used what he knew about Alexa and Beth to not only get into their lives, and Alexas heart, but to get into their heads as well and that's a very dangerous place to be, no matter who you are.

I may have only read 3 books so far this year, but this is my first 5 star and I can't wait to read more by this author.

There are some trigger warnings I feel the need to address, mental illness, murder, and animal cruelty.

This is a debut psychological thriller with some pretty hefty twists that had me hooked from the beginning.

I listened to this on audio, the narration by Marnye Young was brilliant.

Told from the POV’s of twins Alexa and Beth Martin we delve into the minds of these characters. Tackling complicated family relationships, histories and secrets. I loved the plot, although I figured out one of the twists early on, the rest of the them were mind blowing and the ending was amazing!!

There are many references to the current Covid pandemic that I felt were a bit jarring and sometimes pulled me out of the story. (Maybe it’s also just me and a little too soon.)

The novel highlights and tackles mental health and social media issues that I found compelling and interesting, and I could not stop until I finished. It was a quick read/listen (depending on your listening speed 😉) at only 248 pages.

Overall a fabulous debut and great suspenseful thriller.

Thank you kindly to NetGalley, the author and Greenleaf Publishers for this advanced reading copy.

I will remember this book. I felt at times to not be very engaged and ready to put it down. I had it figured out and honestly thought well this is a let down. Same old book, same plot, what in the world is the hype? Then BANG….. the ending of sorts had about 4 different twists that I never saw coming. They just kept coming and my brain was like who, what, why, when.

On to the story…
Alexa lives with her father, who obviously loves her so much. She also has a therapist who cares for her and has treated her for years since a horrific tragedy. Alexa is finally on the edge of everything she’s always wanted, a great job, an apartment away from her dad’s watchful eye, and a wonderful boyfriend. Too much perfect? Yes, enter her estranged twin sister, Beth, fresh out of a mental hospital.

Beth and her share a very deep secret that caused Beth to be in long term care and Alexa to need a therapist like air. Will this secret destroy all of Alexia’s new found happiness or will it destroy her? The answer is as shocking as it is complex.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this in return for a honest review.
