About this listen

A Richard & Judy Book Club Pick

A delightfully sinister story for the influencer age, People Like Her is the twisting, compulsive debut thriller from Ellery Lloyd. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty (Big Little Lies).

'Grabbed me from the first few pages and didn't let go' – Alice Feeney, author of Beautiful Ugly

People like Emmy Jackson. They always have. Especially online, where she is Instagram sensation Mamabare, famous for telling the unvarnished truth about modern parenthood.

But Emmy isn’t as honest as she’d like the fans to believe. She may think she has her followers fooled, but someone out there knows the truth and plans to make her pay . . .

'Brilliantly original' – Clare Mackintosh, author of After the End

Critic reviews

I inhaled People Like Her in a single sitting . . . Breathlessly fast, brilliantly original. Bravo, Ellery Lloyd! (Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go and After the End)

A smart, gobble-at-a-sitting thriller

I loved this eye-opening and compelling look at the horrors of Insta influencing - funny until it goes very dark indeed (Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange and The Lies You Told)

Fast-paced and insightful

Social media has never been so dark or so compelling . . . Had me hooked right up to the jaw-dropping end (Samantha Downing, author of My Lovely Wife and He Started It)

Gripping and caustically funny

Grabbed me from the first few pages and didn't let go . . . Plotted to perfection with skillfully woven twists and turns (Alice Feeney, author of Sometimes I Lie and His & Hers)

Deliciously dark and devious

I absolutely LOVED this book . . . One of my favourite reads of the year (Phoebe Morgan, author of The Doll House and The Babysitter)

As gripping and addictive as Instagram

A clever, original and page-turning thriller . . . I was gripped from the start (Jenny Quintana, author of The Missing Girl and Our Dark Secret)

Slick Instagram noir

Suspenseful, thought-provoking, clever, and I suspected everyone . . . A truly brilliant and a refreshingly original read (Karen Hamilton, author of The Last Wife and The Perfect Girlfriend)

A smart read

The perfect contemporary thriller . . . Utterly impossible to put down. I loved it (Caroline Corcoran, author of The Baby Group)

A cracker for the dark evenings

Excellent characterization turns up the tension in this addictive and absorbing psychological thriller. I was hooked from first page to last (Olivia Kiernan, author of If Looks Could Kill)

Utterly addictive and gripping

Compulsive and wickedly funny – featuring the most grimly fascinating marital duo since Gone Girl. LOVED IT (Katie Lowe, author of The Furies)

Gone Girl-esque . . . slick and sharp

Don’t read this book on the train – I missed my stop . . . A thrilling, witty page-turner that makes you laugh out loud [and] a sharp dissection of a very modern way of life (Holly Watt, author of To The Lions)

A real page-turner

Absolutely loved [it] . . . Twisty and dark, like all great thrillers, but very, very funny (Abbie Greaves, author of The Silent Treatment)

We couldn't put this book down. A brilliant read

I loved it! I was actually holding my breath towards the end. Such a chillingly dark examination of what can happen if you filter reality (Nikki Smith, author of All In Her Head)

A slick thriller about the perils of putting oneself in the social spotlight

Most relevant

Important to declare that I am NOT a fan of social media and if this cautionary tale doesn't give pause for thought then you deserve everything you get .... as did Mamabear in this well-narrated but very scary novel. Read it and weep if you live your life on facebook, instagram and twitter (amidst any others I have failed to notice). The adage 'you reap what you sow' has never been more relevant and I urge those who are fans to listen to this and hopefully act upon its warnings. Have to say I did enjoy the novel but as an outsider looking in and not a participant of this dangerous game. Good luck and take care out there!!!
