Heathers meets The Stepford Wives in this creepy and frighteningly funny dark thriller about a woman who will do anything to find her missing sister. Even pretend to be one of them.
After her twin sister, Chiara, goes missing at a mom-fluencer weekend, Adrienne Shaw will find her no matter what it takes. They may have been on the outs, but no one comes for her sister and gets away with it.
It’s been a year, the authorities have no answers, and her brother-in-law is useless in the matter. It’s time for Adrienne to take the case into her own hands. Following in Chiara’s last footsteps, Adrienne goes undercover, infiltrating the same influencer retreat as the last thing she wants to an Instamommy.
The remote ranch in Northern California is certainly welcoming—in a cult-adjacent kind of way. A charismatic leader, communal crafts, fixed smiles—and a lot of dead eyes.
Going on gut instinct and chasing a wild theory—that Chiara came here and never left—Adrienne is determined to uncover the truth before the too-perfect-to-believe women figure out who Adrienne really a threat to be eliminated.
FOLLOW ME (Thomas & Mercer; publication date: April 1, 2025) is the highly anticipated debut by Elizabeth Rose Quinn, a seasoned screenwriter who saw firsthand how toxic social media can be when she had her first child. Sleepless, overwhelmed and struggling with her shifting identity, she realized how susceptible she was to the allure of the polished and curated social media posts, with
many that promised her health, tranquility, organization, happiness, even a better sex life—as long as she clicked to purchase whatever product they were selling. Quinn took up her most powerful weapon—her storytelling chops—to channel her frustration and rage about being preyed upon in this way. The result is this creepy and frighteningly funny satiric thriller about a woman who sets out to find her missing sister—and uncovers the real horror of Mom-stagram culture.
FOLLOW ME’s readers will laugh, cringe and be very shocked, as the novel leans headlong into the following thorny, uncomfortable questions: What if the celebrity we emulate was actually a murdering psycho? What if influencers were willing to kill for a lucrative brand partnership? And if you’re a mother, what would you do to protect your children? To protect your brand? And what do you do when your children are your brand?

Advance Praise for FOLLOW ME by Elizabeth Rose Quinn
“Follow Me is a wickedly funny, heart-wrenching tale that peels back the Instagram filter
to reveal the messy reality of modern motherhood.”
―Adele Lim, screenwriter of Crazy Rich Asians and director of Joy Ride
“It’s a splashy beach-read thriller that’s low-key a treatise on how capitalism and influencer culture have
co-opted women’s agency and identity in the pursuit of an unattainable ideal. This novel is a must-read for
anyone who is a mother or has lost someone to the all-consuming vortex of modern mommyhood.”
―Adele Lim, screenwriter of Crazy Rich Asians and director of Joy Ride
“Follow Me is a hilarious takedown of mommy influencers and the mighty rule of algorithms. How far will
someone go to stay at the top of your FYP? Elizabeth Rose Quinn’s masterful mix of humor and sarcasm
makes this the book to read about #momlife. Especially if you secretly hate Insta-mommies. A must-read…I
found myself sucked in and couldn’t wait to find out what happened.”
―Amina Akhtar, critically acclaimed author of Almost Surely Dead
“Whip smart, cacklingly funny, surprisingly gutting, and wholly original―this book embodies the very
essence of contemporary motherhood, its messy rage and questing hope set against the backdrop of its
fraught pursuit of unattainable perfection. I frankly can’t believe what Quinn has pulled off here. Comedic
horror? Earnest satire? Anti–domestic thriller? Whatever it is, give me more and keep it coming.” ―Julia
Whelan, international bestselling author of My Oxford Year and Thank You for Listening
