3.5 stars. Followers takes place in alternating time lines following 3 main characters: Orla, Floss and Marlow. The book takes a look at society’s current obsession with fame and influence in the age of social media as well as a future where every move of the elite is recorded for public viewing. There is also a bit of mystery interwoven as you try to figure out how the 2 timelines will intersect. I enjoyed the overall narrative and the look at the future but felt as if the story went in a few different directions that never had closure. I felt that a few of the plot lines just kind of fizzled off and that the ending left something to be desired. The resolution of that ending plot line was a bit too quick and neat.
