"Meet Holly. Social media sensation. The face of clean eating. Everyone loves her. Everyone wants to be her. Or do they? When Holly is attacked by a man she's only just met, her life starts to spiral out of control. Was she targeted because of her online wellness empire, or is there a darker reason behind the attack? He seemed to know her but she doesn't know him. Or does she? What if Holly isn't who she seems to be? What if Holly's living a lie? But surely we all lie a bit online, don't we? When you live your life in the spotlight, what happens when you make a mistake?"--Provided by publisher. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

It soon becomes clear that Holly and Tyler, the two main characters whose alternating narratives carry the story, are complex and flawed people who are not particularly likeable – there were certainly times when I wanted to shake each of them. However, the gradual revelations about their troubled backgrounds did occasionally arouse my empathy so the author’s understanding of how social and psychological pressures affect people’s behaviour was impressive and used to good effect!
Although there were moments of genuine tension in this dark, disturbing and fast-moving story, I thought that there was far too much repetition about the negative effects social media can have on people’s lives. For me the “lectures” had a “groundhog-day” feel to them, often having the effect of interrupting the developing tension in a story which is described by the publisher as “an addictive psychological thriller”. However, the topical themes about some of the dangers of an obsession with social media, of caring too much about what other people say about you, of living a life online, particularly if the online life is based on lies, would make this an interesting choice for reading groups.
I received a copy of this book from Real Readers in exchange for an honest review. ( )
