Synopsis:

          Tessa Hart’s world feels very small. Confined to her bedroom with agoraphobia, her one escape is the online fandom for pop sensation Eric Thorn. When he tweets to his fans, it’s like his speaking directly to her…

Eric Thorn is frightened by his obsessive fans. They take their devotion way too far. It doesn’t help that his PR team keeps posting to encourage their fantasies.

When a fellow pop star is murdered at the hands of a fan, Eric knows he has to do something to shatter his online image fast—like take down one of his top Twitter followers. But Eric’s plan to troll @TessaHeartsEric unexpectedly evolves into an online relationship deeper than either could have imagined. And when the two arrange to meet IRL, what should have made for the world’s best episode of Catfish takes a deadly turn…Told through tweets, direct messages, and police transcripts. 

I received my copy through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Review:

    I was hooked on this book from the very first page.  How can you not become interested and invested in a book when it starts out with the transcripts of an investigation. I immediately thought, what is going on?! I need to figure out what happened.  Was Tessa going to get over her agoraphobia? Would Eric reveal the truth. I needed to know!

I honestly was not expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. I won't lie, I chose this book mainly because of the gorgeous cover. I am always guilty about picking a book based on it's cover sadly, but it is not always my deciding factor. It just catches my attention and I have to see what it is about.

Part of the appeal of this book was the characters. They had realistic flaws that made it easier to connect and bond with their personalities.

It wasn't love at first sight either, it wasn't even a friendship at first sight. It starts out with the anonymity that comes through twitter and being hidden behind a screen.

This book touches on the topics of stalking, fangirling, and the dangers of not knowing who it really could be behind that screen.

The only thing I really wasn't a fan of, was the ending, simply because I needed to know more. That teaser at the end was not fair at all. I am beyond ready for the 2nd book.
