I don’t even know what to make of the ending because it feels like the last 5 pages or so should not have been included at all. His POV chapters were definitely some of my favorite parts because I felt more connected to him.Īs for the story itself? A little predictable. He is living his dream and it wasn’t all it cracked up to be. On the other hand, I loved Eric Thorn! I felt so bad for his fears and his sadness. If you’ve read that book, you’ll understand why. It almost seemed a bit too “Everything Everything” to me. She seems to have just “gotten over it” in the end and while the author seems to try to explain this, I didn’t buy it. I was looking forward to reading about a character that has agoraphobia, but I do not believe this was portrayed very well.

I really liked Tessa and enjoyed seeing her try to go through many of her coping strategies to try to beat her agoraphobia and what caused this (something that happened in New Orleans that we don’t find out until the very end). She recently got a bunch of new followers after she started writing her own fanfic that went viral under the hashtag #EricThornObsessed. Because she is agoraphobic, Tessa spends every minute in her bedroom on Twitter in the Eric Thorn fandom. Tessa is described as a shy, innocent fangirl obsessing over Eric Thorn. This is what intrigued me, but I was a bit disappointed? I just wish there was more I guess because I have fallen in love with mixed formats. I actually thought it would be a bit like Illuminae. I expected this book to told in more tweets, dms and such. While the book was fast and easy to read it was also not what I expected. I am having the hardest time thinking of what I want to rate Follow Me Back and I have no idea why. Thank you to Sourcebooks Fire, AV Geiger, and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy inchange for an unbiased review. Told through tweets, direct messages, and police transcripts. And when the two arrange to meet IRL, what should have made for the world’s best episode of Catfish takes a deadly turn… But Eric’s plan to troll unexpectedly evolves into an online relationship deeper than either could have imagined. When a fellow pop star is murdered at the hands of a fan, Eric knows he has to do something to shatter his online image fast-like take down one of his top Twitter followers. It doesn’t help that his PR team keeps posting to encourage their fantasies.

When he tweets to his fans, it’s like his speaking directly to her…Įric Thorn is frightened by his obsessive fans.

Confined to her bedroom with agoraphobia, her one escape is the online fandom for pop sensation Eric Thorn.
