Book review: Unfollow me - Charlotte Duckworth

 


Title: Unfollow me

Author: Charlotte Duckworth

My rating:


Description:

You Can't Stop Watching Her. Violet Young is a hugely popular journalist-turned-mummy-vlogger, with three young children, a successful husband and a million subscribers on YouTube who tune in daily to watch her everyday life unfold.

Until the day she's no longer there. But one day she disappears from the online world - her entire social media presence deleted overnight, with no explanation. Has she simply decided that baring her life to all online is no longer a good idea, or has something more sinister happened to her?

But do you really know who Violet is? Told from the perspectives of her most avid fans, obsessed with finding out the truth, their search quickly reveals a web of lies, betrayal, and shocking consequences...



My opinion:

Unfollow me by Charlotte Duckworth is a story of social media obsession.

When Violet Young, a succesful mummy-vlogger suddenly dissapears from her online life her followers go crazy.

Their life falls apart, the influence that the “influencer” have over their life is shocking. What has happened to their role model? GoMamas won't rest until they find out the truth.


The whole story is just hillarious. It's not your usual thriller. It's definitely shocking and scary in a way. It shows how dangerous is baring your life online, you can't be sure if your followers don't follow you in the real life.

I love the whole idea of GoMamas forum is great move! I was laughing hysterically for the best part of the book especially that I'm not a stranger to all the TTC related abbreviation. As a person how endures 2WW every month and POAS just as often. Is it TMI? I'll better end it here before I process to describe all the details of baby dancing.

“Unfollow me” is written from three points of view: insta husband Henry and two of the Violet devoted followers. The chapters are kept short, which in my opinion is a good thing.


It's really fast paced and unputdownable. I enjoyed every second of it. It's hands down one of the best book I've ever read.

  Title: The choice Author: Alex Lake My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Description: A kidnap… Matt Westbrook only turned his back for a moment. But when he looks around, his car – with his three young children inside – has vanished. A ransom… Panicked, Matt assumes a car thief has got more than he bargained for, but then he starts to receive text messages:  This is a kidnap. If you want to see your children again, you will exchange them for your wife. A choice… Matt and his wife Annabelle are horrified. They can’t involve the police, or their children will be killed. Which means they have to choose: Annabelle, or their children. Either option is unthinkable. But one is inevitable. And they have only hours to make their decision… My opinion: A car disappears with three young children inside. At first Matt thinks he's being pranked by one of his friends. Then he gets a text message from the kidnapper asking for a ransom. Surprisingly they don't demand money but Anabelle, Matt's w...

Book review: What my sister knew - Nina Laurin

Title: What my sister knew Author: Nina Laurin My rating: ⭐⭐⭐ Description: "...currently wanted by the police. If you know anything about the suspect's whereabouts, please call..." I look up at the TV screen, and my twin brother's face is splashed across it, life-size. It's a shock that makes my breath catch. This is my brother as an adult, my brother who I last saw fifteen years ago after the fire that killed our parents, covered in soot, clutching a lighter in his hand, his knuckles stark white against the dirt and ash. Everyone always said he'd grow up to be a heartbreaker. But his face has gone gaunt instead. The stubble on his cheeks and chin is patchy, and his eyes look dull and dark. My first thought is that it's not him. Not my beautiful brother, the golden boy who everyone loved. Yet, deep down, I've always known this would eventually happen. What did you do this time, Eli? What the hell did you do? My opinion: I've rated...
