Esther is Now Following You

He's the love of her life. He just doesn't know it yet…

It’s 2011 and Esther is living her best life, according to her Facebook posts. Sure her marriage is falling apart and her job is going nowhere, but at least everyone thinks she’s happy.

The truth is, the only thing keeping her going is Canadian actor, Ted Levy, and the fan site where her and the ‘Tedettes’ stalk his every move.

When Ted gets a new celebrity girlfriend, Esther decides that things have gone far enough. She walks out on her life and buys a one-way ticket to Canada.

After all, Ted might not know it yet, but they are meant to be together – he just needs a little bit of persuading.

Esther is Now Following You is an irresistible debut novel about obsession, falling in love, and celebrity fandom.
