My review:
No offense to the author, but I would have never picked this book up on my own. I’m glad he reached out to me though because I found the concept intriguing.
Dan is our main narrator as he works alongside Flick, Kerry, Abhi, and with founders John & Peter. Former.ly is an online memorial site that’s created while you are still alive. You essentially keep a journal and upon your death your page goes life for all of your mourners to read.
I thought the author did a great job of executing a behind the scenes look at what it takes to create and maintain a website ~ programming, coding, marketing, etc. I was pooped just reading about the hours they put into their jobs. They do everything together ~ work, eat, drink and even live in the same house. That’s a lot of togetherness.
When people tied to the company start turning up dead, Dan starts to worry something sinister is going on and begins his own investigation. Will he find out who is behind the mysterious deaths or will he be next?
I loved Dan’s reasoning to stay in a relationship ~ “the rent’s cheaper when you split it with someone else.” š
Overall, a quick read that kept me engaged and interested in how it would conclude.

Book blurb:
When Dan Roberts starts his new job at Former.ly, he has no idea what he’s getting into. The site deals in death – its users share their innermost thoughts, which are stored privately until they die. Then, their posts are shared with the world, often with unexpected consequences.
But something strange is going on, and the site’s two erratic founders share a dark secret. A secret that people are willing to kill for.
