English Summary/英文概要: A compulsive, disturbingly relevant, twisty and powerful psychological, social-media thriller from the bestselling author of The Black Path
’An intense, tightly calibrated thriller’ Huffington Post
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…
Chinese Summary/中文概要: “来自《黑径》作者畅销书作家的一部强迫性,令人不安的,曲折且强大的心理社交媒体惊悚片。强烈,严格校准的惊悚片。”——赫芬顿邮报
汤姆是一个成功的作家,但他正在努力完成他的小说。他的主要干扰是一个网上仰慕者,埃维,谁都不会离开他独自一人。埃维聪明、博览群书、但不稳定;她和父亲住在一起,社交媒体上的友谊不仅是她的解脱,也是她所拥有的一切。当她受到限制令的打击时,她的世界被彻底颠覆了,汤姆又可以自由地生活了,专心写作。但事实并非如此。因为汤姆分心,但也沉迷于他的网络关系,当他们采取了一个更黑暗,更险恶的转折,他感到无力改变的事情。因为也许他需要的爱比他表现出来的要多。这是一部强迫性的、令人不安的、相关的、曲折的、强大的心理惊悚片,《我离得越来越近》也是对网络关系的脆弱和不真诚以及潜伏在一个“赞”之外的危险的尖锐评论。(WYL)
