The Followers

Molly Sullivan is a popular social media influencer known as “The Invincible Molly Sullivan.” She has gone through terrible heartbreak, getting a divorce just after giving birth to her daughter. Yet, she is recognized by her pink sunglasses and permanent smile, always able to look on the bright side and inspire her followers to do the same.

Everything changes for Molly once she marries her introverted partner, Scott. Although he supports her online persona, he urges her to keep him out of it. As the pair begin their life together in Durango, Colorado, Molly begins to suspect that Scott has been dishonest about his past with his daughter, Ella, and begins to question everything he’s told her.

The Followers was a fun read with a lot of suspense. The fast-paced, short chapters kept my attention. Molly’s character felt familiar and comparable to the influencers I follow in real life. It was interesting to learn about the business side of social media and how Molly’s desire to connect on a deeper level with her followers turned into her livelihood. The quest to find out who really killed Kristina was thrilling, and the ending took me by surprise!
