My eyes are burning and jaw hurting from clenching while devouring this book in a day. I'm not sure why it isn't more well-known and popular. The book alternates between two seemingly unrelated stories - one about a famous internet streamer who uses a technology called Heartstream that allows audience to feel what she felt as her mother was dying from cancer, and one about a powerful scary obsessive fan of a pop band who is convinced two of the members are dating and will dox and destroy anyone who disagrees. I can't say much more without spoilers but it is a wild ride. If you are a Black Mirror fan, you'll enjoy this. ( ) no reviews | add a review

I just wanted to see you. Before the end. A taut psychological thriller about obsession, fame and betrayal, for fans of Black Mirror.Cat is in love. Always the sensible one, she can't believe that she's actually dating, not to mention dating a star. But the fandom can't know. They would eat her alive. And first at the buffet would definitely be her best friend, Evie. Amy uses Heartstream, a social media app that allows others to feel your emotions. She broadcasted every moment of her mother's degenerative illness, and her grief following her death. It's the realest, rawest reality TV imaginable.But on the day of Amy's mother's funeral, Amy finds a strange woman in her kitchen. She's rigged herself and the house with explosives - and she's been waiting to talk to Amy for a long time. Who is she? A crazed fan? What does she want?Amy and Cat are about to discover how far true obsession can go. No library descriptions found. |
