Follow Her
Some call her a cult leader. Others, their salvation. I used to call her my best friend…
Ten years ago, seventeen-year-olds Katie and Frida spent a heatwave summer together on a tidal island and they haven’t spoken since. Katie has tried hard to forget about what happened, all while watching Frida rise to fame as a spiritual influencer with millions of devoted followers.
But then a photograph surfaces: a group of girls bathed in summer light, white t-shirts glowing against marsh water. One figure is the celebrated Frida Rae. One is Katie. The others are girls whose dead bodies recently washed up near the island.
As a determined journalist starts asking questions, Katie’s carefully constructed life as a doctor’s wife and a mother begins to crack. Forced to recall her time with Frida, she is drawn back into a world of obsession, toxic first love and deadly secrets. Frida has many faces: victim, friend, spiritual leader. But how far will both women go to protect their image—and whose story will the world believe?

What a great read. The depiction of the tidal island is beautifully atmospheric and the characters so intricately woven together – you really feel like you are in the cult. Really enjoyed the relationship between the two main protagonists too. Highly recommend.

I downloaded Follow Her with first reads. Another fantastic book by Anna Stothard. From the moment I picked it up, I struggled to put it down. The descriptions are incredible, I can picture every scene. This is a fabulous cult story with a difference! It covers the origins of a cult and the fine line between love and worship. It’s funny, dark and human! Can’t recommend highly enough.
