"Beyond being a brilliant skewering of social media and influencer culture, People Like Her is, quite simply, a damn good thriller . . . . The novel reads like Gone Girl on steroids in all the best ways.”— BookReporter“Breathlessly fast, brilliantly original. Bravo, Ellery Lloyd!”—Clare Mackintosh, New York Times bestselling author of After the EndFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Club, 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 OneTo 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. . . .

"The writing was horrible. I don't think I've ever read a book with so many errors. There was even a whole sentence that made zero sense, pg136 "Id gogo nod wide du?" I think it's was supposed to say "is coco not with you?"<br/><br/>There were plenty of sentences that were structured as a stand alone sentence but did not contain the proper subject, verb and object therefore made no sense and did not flow<br/><br/>As for the story it was ok, slow build up. Maybe I would give the story more credit if it read better.<br/><br/>I had high hopes for this book and was extremely let down"
"Had such promise and honestly the idea is what drew me in BUT the ending was rushed, sloppy and will let you down big time<br/>"

"What a good book! I don't have the words to describe this...it's an inside view of an instagramers life and how fake social media is. It turns into an intense thriller and how you really need to be careful on what you post. How quickly your life can be shattered. This was a very quick read, probably because it's so close to the reality (or should I say "fake" reality) that so many of us live today. Multiple perspectives. Under 300 pages."
"Timely suspensful read."

"I have no idea how to rate this book! It was headed for four or five stars, then it hit a point and I I thought nope. Two stars. But it kept pulling me back and I couldn't get it out of my head, so here we are at 3 stars. And a half. I think this is probably the least helpful review I've ever written"
