Debut Novel Out NOW
HATE FOLLOW
By Erin Quinn-Kong
To her one million Instagram followers, influencer Whitney Golden’s life looks just about perfect. But her curated existence explodes when her teenage daughter Mia sues her for invasion of privacy. The monumental case throws their relationship into a tailspin and has mother and daughter grappling with what it truly means to be in the public eye.
“A rich and witty story with two complicated women at its heart, HATE FOLLOW is a beautiful debut. ”
-Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author of Lovers of Liars
“I raced through this juicy, funny, insightful novel about a mom who makes a killing by oversharing her kids' lives online and the teenage daughter intent on stopping her.”
-J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of The Cliffs
“Hate Follow is a riveting, thought-provoking read about what parents owe their children in the Internet era--and indeed what privacy even means in the dopamine-fueled age of social media.”
-Katie Gutierrez, bestselling author of More Than You'll Ever Know
“You will never scroll through your social media feed again without giving some folks the side-eye after reading Hate Follow. A thought-provoking, page-turner of a debut that is oh so timely!”
-Nancy Johnson, bestselling author of The Kindest Lie
