Thank you to Crooked Lane Books and Netgalley for a preview of this title. Violet, a mommy vlogger with a million subscribers on Youtube suddenly disappears and all her social media channels have been shut down. Several subscribers are concerned that something may have happened to Violet. Two, Lily and Yvonne, share their reasons why in mostly alternating chapters.

As with most modern technology, I could see this happening. I have my favorite podcasters and worry when they miss a regular episode.

Duckworth is definitely an author to watch. This plot is innovative and twisting. She does a great job of luring in the reader and keeping them guessing. I definitely recommend this book.

Give this book a chance, i was given a chance to read this via Netgalley and i was a little unsure on how it would turn out. I am glad to say i was happily surprised, the synopsis doesnt do this book justice. I loved how developed the characters was and how we came to really understand why they were so dependent on following a "mommy vlogger". We understand why they struggle when she seemingly vanishes. This is told from several view points that run together seamlessly and that are all relevant to the final revelation. This story has all the great elements needed, suspense and mystery, heartache and loss and even love. I recommend picking this book up and i hope you love it as much as i did.

I will rate Unfollow Me by Charlotte Duckworth a 5/5 stars. This was by far a great book to pull me out of a reading slump. The storyline is engaging as well as intriguing. The book starts off with social media followers/fans inquiring what in the world happened to viral YouTuber Violet who had a very successful channel about being a married mother of three suffering from post-natal depression. When all of her social media accounts disappear overnight, it sends her fans spiraling and wondering just what could have happened? Many fans begin to think that her husband, Henry, is to blame and must've done something terrible to her. The story is told from three points of view: Henry's, Lily (a devoted fan turned stalker) and Yvonne (a woman with an interesting connection to Violet and her husband). This book will leave you questioning: Is it really worth putting all of your business out on social media just for a little money or fame? That's a question that Violet will be left grappling with answering. All that glitters on social media isn't gold.

What I enjoyed about this book:
There was an element of surprise hanging around throughout the entire book. I loved it. Oh, it was wonderful weaving together how the three main voices of the story were all connected. I could tell straight off the bat that something was more than a little off with Lily. Whew... That woman was some kind of mental. I enjoyed learning just how Yvonne knew Henry and how their past was intertwined as well as their present.

What I did not enjoy about this book:
Henry was such an unlikable character. I did not fancy him in the slightest. Not at all.
The first few chapters where Yvonne is speaking sort of bored me before I realized that she was more than just a social media follower of Violet's. Once the story progressed, her voice became more interesting. I did figure out who her baby was by easily, though. That wasn't a shocker in the least bit.
I wish that Violet could've had more of a fire lit under her at the end of the book. It just seems as if she left the story feeling and being defeated.

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and author for a copy of this book in the exchange for an honest review.

This book, y’all!!! It is amazing!! So many good twists and turns and path crossing. Loved it!! Y’all need to read this one!!

This is the first book I have read by Charlotte Duckworth and i loved it! I look forward to reading more by this author. The topic of social media seems to be a popular one in the new books coming out and this was a great read. I loved the author's writing style. Thank you for the advanced copy. I will definitely be recommending Unfollow Me!

This novel was a harrowing look into how social media influences, and basically runs our lives. The main star of the book, even though there is almost no "contact"with her, would be Violet. An influencer, a social media vlogger, the perfect mom and wife. She vlog about everything in her life, until one morning she just disappears. Enter two followers of her, Lily and Yvonne that try to find Violet, each for their own personal reason. I'll be honest, in the middle the book lagged bit for me, but it soon picked up, and the different points of view, and story came came together nicely in the end, and for once I did not see the ending coming.
Recommended for anyone that needs to get a reality check regarding their social presence.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Crooked Lane Books and the author, Charlotte Duckworth, for the opportunity to read an advanced readers copy of Unfollow Me in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.
I thought this book provided a good quick read. The storyline was well thought out and written with well developed characters. Was a bit disappointed with the ending though as, after all the build up, the conclusion felt a bit flat.
Worth a read.

This book was good! It took me a little while to get into the story. It did jump around a bit, and sometimes it took me a bit to figure who's point of view I was reading. Other than that it was enjoyable.

I received this ARC from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Most of us spend at least part of every day on social media and for two “followers” in this book, life is about to get very interesting. Lily and Yvonne both adore vlogger Violet Young. They, and a million other followers can’t wait to see what words of wisdom Violet will bestow on her mommy blog. But then one day Violet, or at least her online personality disappear. All her social media accounts are wiped clean overnight. Has Violet simply tired of being on all the time, or has something worse happened to her? It took me a while to get into this book, but once I did, I was sucked in. Social media is scary as hell

This is the first book I have read by Charlotte Duckworth, and surely won’t be the last, considering I finished it in one day!

Violet is a mommy vlogger, video blogging about raising her children and going through postpartum depression. She has over 1 million followers on YouTube, and hundreds of thousands on Instagram and Facebook. One day, out of the blue, all traces of Violet are erased from the internet. The links her fans saved to instantly view her pages are dead. She has seemingly disappeared off the face of the planet without any known reason.

Violet has gained many fans over the years, and some anti-fans as well. Different characters lead the narrative as a couple of her fans try to find out what happened to Violet. Could the reason be darker than anyone expected?

I was completely gripped with this suspenseful novel from the start. The voices of Lily, Yvonne, and Henry are so well thought out and written that made it very hard for me to put down the book except to sleep for the night. I was itching to discover the ending, and even found some twists on the way that I didn’t expect. I really came to care about the characters as well, and what would happen to them as certain things were revealed in the plot. This is the kind of tale that you don’t want to end, and those are pretty rare for me. A+ from me.

Thank you to NetGalley, Charlotte Duckworth, and Quercus for an ARC. I will be recommending this book to others.

I enjoyed this book although at times it left me confused as to who was speaking. Parts of it sad and parts showing a couple of not very nice characters.

So I read half of this, but I was very frustrated because it was too hard to piece together the identities and the relationships of the characters. It wasn't suspenseful; it was frustrating.

I had to work at it to find characters with whom I could empathize, although nonetheless I enjoyed the novel. A major reason for that is the constant twists upending my assumptions and mistaken conclusions practically on every page. Also it was watching the "train wreck" of two of the characters over two decades: both self-driven obsessive Narcissists lacking either moral value or character gumption. Like magnets, they continually attracted then repelled each other, and watching them was exactly like viewing a train derailment: the suspense was in wondering who this time would get hurt (not these two) and how badly.

Unfollow Me by Charlotte Duckworth is a fascinating look at the all- encompassing, and potentially sinister, nature of social media. I was pulled in from the very first page and could not look away. This is a fabulous read.

Vlogger Violet has amassed quite a following for her YouTube videos, speaking primarily as a mother who has suffered postpartum depression. But suddenly, and without warning, Violet closes all of her social media accounts, much to the frustration of some of her most rabid followers. Most distressed of all by this turn of events are Lily, a single mother, and Yvonne, a woman who is desperate to become pregnant at the age of forty. Told primarily through the alternating voices of these two women, it becomes clear that the obsession with Violet is much more than innocent fangirl adoration.

The plot is superbly paced and executed, and the twists will keep you guessing throughout. The end result is brilliant, and I would highly recommend giving this one a look.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books for this ARC.

An internet thriller! Brilliant with a lot of suspense!!!

An internet vlogger with over a million followers has become a daily obsession for many viewers. Violet, the vlogge, is a perfect mother with a perfect family. Yet, her tales and advice on pregnancy and especially post partum depression are what her readers devour. Suddenly, however, her online presence has vanished. Violet's followers flock to her online page to exchange their concern and curiosity as to why Violet has disappeared from all social media.

Two followers, in particular, Lily and Yvonne, seem to stand out in their devotion to Violet and her family. Both, in their own ways, seek the truth as to what happened to Violet. They resort to outrageous methods to find Violet and/or find out what has happened with her. Henry, Violet's husband, also becomes prominent in this maze of uncertainty.

The reader asks - what really DID happen to Violet?

Amazing character development and writing style. This book definitely has my vote - cover to cover!

Many Thanks to Cooked Lane Books and NetGalley for an intriguing and exciting story!

Unfollow Me is a wild ride into the world of social media. Violet is a mom, wife and vlogger. Putting herself and her family out for public viewing is always a risk, one never knows who is going to become obsessed with your family.

The story involves Lily, a single mom who has become quite obsessed with Violet and her family. From morning until evening, Lily finds herself checking Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and other venues for updates on Violet and her family.

Next up is Yvonne, a photographer who is newly married and desperately trying to have a baby. She, too, is obsessed with Violet and her family, but not for the same reason as Lily.

Then we meet Henry, Violet's husband, who fans seem to think is the ideal husband. Unfortunately, things aren't always as they seem.

Then of course, there's Violet, who after suffering postnatal depression, finds herself creating videos, hoping to connect with others, hoping to ease this pain in her life.

I was blown away by this story, and found myself reading Unfollow Me in one sitting. I, too, found myself wondering what was going on not only in Violet's world, but the other characters as well.

I highly recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a good story, well told and engaging from beginning to end.
