People To Follow contains a very modern, relevant premise -- influencers and all the unethical things they do, combined with reality television. I cannot think of a more relevant premise to the modern youth -- the cast of this story is rather unforgettably Gen Z.

All of the cast whose POVs we get to see have distinct voices. Some of them will be instantly dislikable to some; Kira and Elody specifically will irritate people in different ways. The cast is just irreversibly unlikable, which is what makes this thriller so interesting. Morally grey characters are what we are all after, after all. And it doesn't get greyer than these influencers. The depths of this greyness weren't plumbed in the way I expected, but it was a fascinating journey nonetheless. 

This is the perfect book for anyone who enjoys gossip and drama -- some of it is the harmlessly aimless kind and some is surprisingly dark. It is paced in a way which will be very agreeable to people with short attention spans. Each chapter moves the plot forward and heightens the mystery; every other chapter or so contains a revelation. It's the perfect book to get you out of a slump. 

What actually was happening was a simultaneously more boring and more exciting than what I was expecting; it felt a bit like an intricate plot that somehow also relied on the idiocy of some characters. I wasn't very happy with the ending but it very much made sense and I think some people will absolutely love it. 

Overall, I couldn't put this book down; fascinating mystery with a deeply entertaining cast.
