Once I started reading this, I couldn’t put it down. A gripping thriller that gives a real insight into the world of influencers. Emmy is at the top of her game as an Instamum, her husband Dan is scathing about the whole thing but as she’s the breadwinner, can’t make her step away. Someone wants to teach Emmy a lesson - and it isn’t just her who will suffer. I raced through to the ending, which was both smart and chilling. A really different take on the ‘behind the polished perfection her life is falling apart’ social media story.

I really enjoyed this gripping thriller set in the world of the uber influencer - and what goes on behind closed doors and behind that artfully chaotic lifestyle.

This is a really promising debut novel which hooks you in right from the start. It explores the crazy world of social media and the massive pros and cons that come with it. Our main character Emmy is very unlikeable and a small part of me wanted her to get her comeuppance!

It is a fast paced and quick read and I can see this book doing really well when it is released early next year.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an ecopy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely loved People Like Her but I fear it won’t stand out.

I’ll start by saying People Like Her has a fantastic ending and I really hope they’ll be a sequel but I have issues with the first 60% of the book. It was good but nothing stood out. You can’t write a thriller about instamoms without standing out... this is the third book I’ve reviewed this month based around social media and influencer life,

The writing style is brilliant, I was totally gripped and read in one sitting. The shocking evil in this book had me blown back...I loved it!

This is a five out of five book, I just hope it’s not too late to jump on influencing.

A well thought about narrative that could likely happen to any Insta-crazy person... Characters you love or hate (but can empathise with). Some psychotic, some pathetic, some a bit of both. A satisfying ending after a tumultuous rollercoaster of a read! I look forward to reading more from this author.

NB. This book does talk about abortion, miscarriage and the accidental (and more malevolent) death of babies.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

People Like Her follows (see what I did there?) Emmy Jackson, a successful influencer with a jealous husband and a stalker.

This was an easy, fast-paced read!

Confession: I know a few people like Emmy and her husband so I couldn't help but chuckle when I was reading the book as it is so realistic! Then of course it took a very dark turn and I had to keep reading as I wanted to find out who the stalker was... you will never guess!

All in all, I liked that the story wasn't just a mystery thriller but it also went in depth into the world of influencers and the mind of a stalker.

Disclaimer: I'd like to thank the publisher for my advanced reader's copy. This is my honest review.

Really good read. Would recommend to friends and family. I could sympathise with characters (important for any fiction novel!) and looked forward to picking it up and reading the next few chapters! Interesting plot line and a good ending. Will look out for more novels by the author. Thank you.

This is an exceptional book. I devoured it within 24 hours - the sign of a good book, in my opinion, is one that keeps you gripped, promising yourself, just one more chapter and I'll put it down.


People Like Her is gripping right from the beginning. Many of us become focused upon social media - thumb scrolling for hours at end - absorbed in other peoples lives - or rather the lives that they portray in 'little boxes'.

Ellery is instafamous - but not all is as it seems - her husband Dan begins to struggle with how much their lives are played out on social media and then add in a side story which has an epic twist - well this is the reason why I couldn't put it down.

I really enjoyed People Like Her and I look forward to reading more of Ellery Lloyd's work.

Expertly plotted. An excellent debut.
Emily, a successful influencer and is happy with her life. On the other hand Dan, her husband is not happy to have their kids pics on social media. But he can't do anything in that matter because Emily is successful in comparison to him who's stuck in a writer's block for almost eight years.
Social media has advantages and disadvantages. Here is no exception. Someone is watching Emily. Someone hates her badly. Someone wants her to pay for something. But who?
I loved Emily's character. Dan was a pathetic one but in an important role in the story. The stalker's character was ok.
Narration of the story was excellent and twists were masterful.
Thanks to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan Mantle for giving me an advance copy.

I loved this timely thriller, depicting the influence of social media on our lives. The storyline flowed seamlessly, and the characters were realistic. Very nicely written!

Whoa!! A thrilling debut which kept enraptured from the beginning. Social media and its dangers were completely explored in this book.

Emmy was a successful influencer with her own brand. Her husband Dan did not like the children's pics on social media, but couldn't do much in the force of Emmy's personality. Entered the darkness which soon followed Emmy and laid down its claws on to her. Destruction was the forgone conclusion.

Having read many books in this genre, it was wonderful how the author could make her words express the emotions she wanted to convey. The story might seem familiar but its treatment was certainly different. It was quite thought-provoking. The characters were well developed, each one was contrary to the author. I couldn't help feeling scared for them as danger tightened its web.

The author dove into the human psyche to show the workings of the damaged mind. Emotions came through while reading. I was always wary of social media, post reading this I was petrified.

Overall, the book dealt with the good and the bad aspects of social media. I was especially engrossed as I wanted to get to the end and unmask the psycho terrorizing Emmy and her family. Quite unexpected was the end, I had to hold my breath for that one.
