Description
When sixteen-year-old Chloe replies to a DM from a gorgeous stranger, she has no idea what she's inviting into her life. As her online fan becomes increasingly obsessive, her real life starts to come apart at the seams and Chloe realizes she needs to find a way to stop him before things spiral out of control.
Misfit Amber's online obsession with her personal trainer begins to creep into the real world. But when she hears a terrible rumor about him, she drops everything to try and prove his innocence - even if it means compromising her own.
In Follow Me, Like Me by Charlotte Seager, Amber and Chloe might find that the truth is much harder to swallow than the lies.
What do you do when your Instagram romance goes wrong and tries to find you IRL?

If you're looking for an emotional book which will have you turning the pages quickly and leaving you feeling hopeful and happy despite the world and it's dangers - then you should absolutely give this book a read * Day Dreamer Thoughts *
This book really points out the dangers of letting strangers into your life and showing how much information can be revealed by just the simplest of apps so that people can stalk you * Niffler Reads *
This is a brilliantly suspenseful novel that is perfect for raising awareness about the perils of social media, how an innocent message between strangers can escalate quickly to something a lot more sinister. I would recommend this to all teenagers * Library Looter *
Overall, I really liked this book. It was an easy read but it also covered a really relevant, important topic when it comes to young people today. It brings awareness to these issues yet doesn't make it too dark and informative, it's still a simplistic, fun read that I enjoyed reading. I have already recommended this book to a couple of book-loving friends and I know it is one that I will be dropping into conversation in the future, especially when it comes to the subject of social media * Janay Brazier *
This book was intriguing, the premise sounded really interesting in this time and age of social media and the dangers it can involve * The Bookish Gurl *
