The Followers is a sharp debut that explores themes of peer pressure, girlhood, identity, social capital, and how schoolyard dynamics translate to social media.

Friendship with Lacey felt like a warm hand pressing very tightly against my throat. The difficulty breathing felt better than the chill of abandonment that overcame me every time she would, just for a second, relax the pressure.

Beautiful, manipulative Lacey is a lifestyle influencer turned bestselling author who preaches self-love and body confidence to her million followers.

But one of those followers is Teresa. She remembers Lacey as a prepubescent mean girl who kept the loyal members of her gang—Teresa included—on a short leash. Twenty years later, she watches Lacey from afar with the ghost of her younger self and a copy of Lacey's new self-help book for company—both determined to keep the past alive.

The Followers is a keenly observed and darkly funny exploration of coming of age in the social media era and how the children we were shape the adults we become.


'I could not put this book down: Maree Spratt's characters gripped me from the first sentence. The Followers is a sophisticated and serious satire, showing the machinations of the minds of young pre-teen girls with the depth they so deserve, but rarely get, in literature.'
