DO YOU FOLLOW? by J. C. Bidonde is a weird, strange little thriller. here is a brief synopsis: Alexa and Beth Martin are gen-z identical twins. Alexa’s boyfriend Kurt is dead, and Beth seems to have killed him, yet she is nowhere to be found. Alexa is on trial for Kurt’s murder. I chose to read DO YOU FOLLOW? because its marketing made it seem like it was going to be a social media thriller. however, this was not really what it was. DO YOU FOLLOW? is essentially THE GOOD SISTER except less character development and more psycho-thriller. spoiler alert -- Alexa and Beth were connected from birth. Beth tried to cut them apart when they were nine, but Beth died in the process, leaving Alexa with severe trauma and literal multi-personality disorder where she BECOMES BETH and kills her mother and Kurt, though Kurt had an agenda of his own. ultimately, too weird for me and did not show me anything interesting or valuable about the world.
