Review: People to Follow

by Olivia Worley

Published October 31, 2023 by Wednesday Books

People to Follow was a blast.  The premise is goofy fun: ten teen influencers go to a remote island to film a reality tv show, and get cut off from the rest of the world.  One of them soon turns up dead.

I’ve read quite a few thrillers about influencers this year and was getting tired of the topic, but Worley made it fresh again.

Each of the point of view characters is well-developed and has a distinct voice.  I was expecting the book to be fairly shallow, but I found myself empathizing with everyone and regularly changing my mind about who the killer might be.

The dialogue was witty and clever, while being as over-the-top as the premise promises.

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys young adult thrillers, “And Then There Were None”-style mysteries, dark humour, and characters you love to hate / hate to love.
