I truly enjoyed reading "Do You Follow" as my first book of 2022. I went into it intrigued by the concept of twins (Alexa and Beth) who have both has psychiatric problems. What I found was so much more! I'll avoid spoiling the twist (as other reviewers have done) and just say that you'll enjoy reading about the twins and their fascinating relationship.
I also appreciated the author's realistic (if dark) handling of the mental illness aspect of the story. This topic has been in the news a lot in recent days, and it was nice to see it addressed in fiction in such a compelling manner. The added aspect of social media contributed a good bit to the advancement of the plot, and made the story feel even more contemporary.
The characters were detailed and very well-written. I enjoyed learning more about them, and their back-stories, as the novel progressed. Although I guessed part of the twist, there was still plenty there to surprise me by the end.
Definitely a 5-star read!
