Last Seen Online is the latest novel from author Lauren James. It features characters from Lauren’s hugely popular online novella “An Unauthorized Fan Treatise”.
When Delilah meets Sawyer Saffitz (son of Anya Saffitz, aka Hollywood royalty), she becomes hooked on a decade-old scandal. In her quest for the truth, Delilah uncovers blogposts written by the mysterious “gottiewrites” and is soon caught up in a world of greed, fandom conspiracy theories … and murder. And the deeper Delilah digs, the more dangerous it becomes – because someone is willing to kill to hide the truth.
Last Seen Online is a book that if you’ve ever been in a fandom especially one similar to the one featured will have you simultaneously loving and hating it. It manages to capture how much of a community they can be while also highlighting the toxic side where fans take their devotion a bit too far.
The exploration of what being a fan in such an intense type of fandom is showcased by a riveting murder mystery and a budding romance that unfolds really nicely over the course of the book. What also gives it depth is how unreliable Deliah is as a narrator as without spoiling the plot, she’s quite happy to uncover other peoples secrets and seek answers but isn’t prepared to do the same much closer to home and would rather bury her head in the sand.
Last Seen Online is a fantastic, thought provoking read combining, murder, fandoms and social media.
