Followers by Megan Angelo was a really fun read. I really liked this dual timeline story that examined the high price that comes with fame & followers. It follows Orla & Floss in the present day, and Marlow in 2051. Marlow lives in a separate state called Constellation, and it's similar to The Truman Show, where everyone is a reality star. I found myself more interested in this sci-fi future that Marlow was living in and I was fascinated by the mysterious Spill and it's aftermath. I loved how Orla & Floss would do anything for fame and fortune -- they reminded me of the Instagram 'influencers' of the current age. It was a satirical look at privacy and social media, but also a heartfelt look at friendships, family, and fame.
