Followers (Angelo) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
Megan Angelo’s Followers, with its terrific writing about terrifying ideas, is destined to be such a talker that you must read it immediately or risk being out of the loop when your friends start saying things like "She’s such a Marlow!" or "What Would Floss Do?"
Washington Post


Followers is an engaging confection wrapped around a thoughtful critique of how we live our lives online, and how we value others based on their curated personas.

(Starred review) [S]pectacular… Angelo masterfully explores the dark side of social media. [T]he tale skillfully builds to a terrifyingly believable climax…. Angelo delivers a strong, consistently fascinating debut.
Publishers Weekly


(Starred review) Angelo… weaves in a perspective on contemporary political decisions and the effect they could have on us all in the not-so-distant future. This is an intricate and brave story of friendship, ambition, and love and the lengths people will go to protect it all.
Booklist


(Starred review) [T]he joy of details continues all the way to a denouement in Atlantis (formerly Atlantic City), where the… two plotlines are untangled and confirmed. Endless clever details and suspenseful plotting make this speculative-fiction debut an addictive treat.
