Unfollowers

All Barb Matheson ever wanted was for the pieces of her life to slot into the right place. Her unusual upbringing – a young American girl raised on a mission in Ethiopia – seemed to constantly highlight all the ways in which she didn’t seem to belong anywhere. Leigh Ann Ruggiero’s UNFOLLOWERS weaves a personal, spiritual journey for Barb as she attempts to figure out what it is she wants out of her life. Spectacularly written, the author creates a rich tapestry of characters whose experiences and connections to Barb both bring them together and push them apart in a beautifully realistic manner. Barb’s search for meaning in her life is something most readers will connect to as it offers introspection and reflection on your choices at almost every turn. The brilliance of this book is how often it invites that self-analysis within the reader without prompting.
