I just finished PEOPLE LIKE HER by Ellery Lloyd (a penname for married couple ) and I am slightly on the fence.  One one hand, I liked watching internet fame completely destroy this woman and her family while inspiring a psycho with a quest for justice/revenge.  On the other, I was so perpetually annoyed with Emmy, the social media influencer, that I could not help but cringe and wait for her parts of each chapter to be over.  She is really something and I did not like being in that headspace.  I just saw her as completely shallow and she bothered me -- but I wonder if that was the point?  If so, bravo, authors, bravo! 

I think I would have enjoyed this more if the husband, Dan, had a better character evolution and the two of them did not sort of just ping pong the same things for about 50 pages.  But in the end I felt like he sold out a bit?  Also, the "antagonist" of the book (not sure if it should be annoying Emmy or the stalker follower that holds Emmy for something we find out near the end) had a pretty unrealistic motive.  And all the cards just got laid out too perfectly... maybe if the book had been a little longer (we are only at ~270 pages) some of these characters and motives could have been fleshed out a bit more and made to be more realistic.

When all is said and done I am going with a 3 for People Like Her.  My pet peeves with the book were small compared to the overall story / theme and I did like how Emmy might change and get a better perspective on life and what matters.  But I am still torn!
