People Like Her
by
Ellery Lloyd (Goodreads Author)
I hated every single person in this book. But despite that, this book was unputdownable! I defiantly recommend this book to anyone who likes learning about Social Media stars and mystery lovers.
If this is what it is really like to be a big-time 'influencer' (and do we put freebie book reviewers into this category LOL!?), I'm happy that I don't follow anyone big-time!
This book deals with Emmy, the influencer, her author husband, and their two kids. You will find out just what a big-timmer will do to get there, how their family life changes as the BLOG grows, and what it takes to stay there, but you will also find out just what it's like to be hated and have someone plan an act of revenge.
As I said, NONE of the characters are likable ( well, maybe baby Bear!), but the story is riveting.
You may have a bit of trouble with the story's rhythm (I'm not sure if that is the correct word?) since interspersed within Emmy and Dan's part is blended the 'bad guys' ramblings.
I really did love this book, even though I couldn't feel anything but loathing for the characters. As I said, I couldn't put this book down.
*ARC supplied by the publisher and author...yes I know -the irony of it all! LOL!!!

SYNOPSIS:"A razor-sharp, wickedly smart suspense debut about an ambitious influencer mom whose soaring success threatens her marriage, her morals, and her family’s safety.
Followed by Millions, Watched by One
To her adoring fans, Emmy Jackson, aka @the_mamabare, is the honest “Instamum” who always tells it like it is.
To her skeptical husband, a washed-up novelist who knows just how creative Emmy can be with the truth, she is a breadwinning powerhouse chillingly brilliant at monetizing the intimate details of their family life.
To one of Emmy’s dangerously obsessive followers, she’s the woman that has everything—but deserves none of it.
As Emmy’s marriage begins to crack under the strain of her growing success and her moral compass veers wildly off course, the more vulnerable she becomes to a very real danger circling ever closer to her family.
In this deeply addictive tale of psychological suspense, Ellery Lloyd raises important questions about technology, social media celebrity, and the way we live today. Probing the dark side of influencer culture and the perils of parenting online, People Like Her explores our desperate need to be seen and the lengths we’ll go to be liked by strangers. It asks what—and who—we sacrifice when make our private lives public, and ultimately lose control of who we let in. . . ."
