Tom is a successful author, but he`s struggling to finish his novel. His main distraction is an online admirer, Evie, who simply won`t leave him alone. Evie is smart, well read and unstable; she lives with her father and her social-media friendships are not only her escape, but everything she has. When she`s hit with a restraining order, her world is turned upside down, and Tom is free to live his life again, to concentrate on writing. But things aren`t really adding up. For Tom is distracted but also addicted to his online relationships, and when they take a darker, more menacing turn, he feels powerless to change things. Because maybe he needs Evie more than he`s letting on. A compulsive, disturbingly relevant, twisty and powerful psychological thriller, The Closer I Get is also a searing commentary on the fragility and insincerity of online relationships, and the danger that can lurk just one `like` away...
