Brooke's Pick: Follow Me by Kathleen Barber

Audrey Miller lives her life online. With over one million followers on Instagram, Audrey is what you would call an "influencer" - someone who has such a following on social media that they are able to sway the purchasing decisions of the masses who adore them. Although being an influencer is great, Audrey has just landed her dream job - a position as the Social Media Manager for one of the Smithsonian museums. However, accepting her dream job means moving from New York to Washington D.C. into a basement apartment with a faulty lock. The broken lock isn't the only creepy thing about her new place though - she swears she keeps hearing noises in her apartment. There is also the alley level window in her bedroom, and there have even been some sinister comments popping up on her Instagram. With over a million people following her on social media, Audrey is bound to have fans, but what about stalkers?

Kathleen Barber's Follow Me is a novel for the times. So many people put their entire lives online without giving a second thought as to who is perusing their photos and following their every movement. Social media is not all harmless fun and games, as Follow Me explicitly demonstrates. Giving complete strangers access to your personal, private life can have insidious consequences, as Audrey Miller soon finds out.

Follow Me will allure readers with a tale of the dangers of social media, but it will keep them hooked with the way it is written. Audrey has several questionable people in her life, and Barber lets you believe that any one of them is capable of being her stalker. This writing tactic makes this story irresistible - readers will feel exactly like Audrey, whipping her head around wondering just who she can trust. With a sinister aura and hair-raising incidences of genuine creepiness, Follow Me is a fun, yet frightful, dive into one woman's very public private life.
