Do You Follow is a slow build mystery and not anything that I expected. For her first novel, Bidonde did a superb job in crafting a story rich with mystique.
The characters are well developed and feel so real. I liked the primary character of Alexa due to her soft and thoughtful nature. Beth on the other hand came across as the diametric opposite of Alexa — harsh and self-centered. There are several other characters and they just added a lot more depth to the storyline.
The plot isn’t straightforward and it does take a while for the story to unfold. I must say that most of the novel focuses on the relationship of Alexa and her twin sister, Beth in the beginning. It is not until approximately the 50% point that the real story begins. But it is certainly worth the wait. And the plot thickens thereafter. Do You Follow is one of those novels that takes a while to get your attention, but once it does, it becomes a page turner of a mystery. Five excellent stars.
