Mehso-so

16-year-old Connie is left home alone for 2 weeks whilst her mum, Lou, & older sister, Isla, are touring colleges. Connie hates being left on her own but on the bright side, at least she will be away from her mum's vlogging schedule for the whole fortnight. Ever since Lou discovered that she could make money online, the two girls have had their entire lives put out there & it makes attending school even more of a chore. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Most people are ok but there are some strange comments on the videos & Connie starts to feel as if she is being watched & even followed, Then two girls are attacked, including her best friend, & as Connie was in the vicinity both times it feels like the police & her friends are starting to wonder if she is responsible.

This is your usual YA thriller which started off well but ventured into ever more unlikely territory as it went on.

OutsmartYourShelf It's about the dangers of putting too much of your life online & the problems that can bring. Can I just say that Connie's friends & family SUCK! The poor girl is being stalked & her mum & sister don't want to cut their trip short, whilst her friends ditch her when she needs them most. I'm not sure there's one decent person in this apart from Connie. 1w
OutsmartYourShelf I will say that when the killer was revealed, the motive just didn't make sense to me & the ending is......something. 3⭐

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Bonnier Books/Hot Key Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
