Boy Meets Girl. Boy Stalks Girl. Girl Gets Revenge.
Logan thinks he and Delilah are meant to be.
Delilah doesn't know who Logan is.
Logan believes no one knows Delilah like him. He makes sure of it by learning everything he can by watching her through a hidden camera. Some might call him a stalker. Logan prefers to be called "romantic".
Delilah is keeping secrets though, deadly ones. There's so much more to her than meets the eye.
Logan is determined to make Delilah the heroine in his twisted fantasy and he'll do anything to get what he wants.
Delilah is done with the men in her life controlling her. If Logan won't let her go…she'll make him.
"Sutanto has crafted a page-turning work of suspense that questions the line between romantic 'research' and stalking in the age of the internet, analyzing the roles played by abuse, misogyny, racism, and violence in contemporary relationships."—Booklist
"Set against a Northern California private school backdrop, the sensational plot is riddled with twists that come at a furious pace...A suspenseful page-turner."—Kirkus Reviews
"This tense, quick-moving thriller is also a thought-provoking story about the different shapes of abuse. Fans of high-drama fiction with a dark edge, like Karen McManus's One of Us Is Lying or Gretchen McNeil's #murdertrending, will be hooked."—School Library Journal
Customer Reviews
Best book I’ve read in a long time
I haven’t been able to get myself to read a book book in a long time. I stopped at my local Meijer before heading off on a camping trip because I told myself I was going to get a book, and I was gonna read it. As I was walking up and down the book aisles, “The Obsession” caught my eye and I decided that it was going to be the book I read (I was just going based off the eye catching cover). I got to camp and told myself I needed to get through at least a chapter, and I started reading with that goal in mind. Within seven hours I had read 294 pages because reading just one chapter wasn’t enough, and I only stopped because I ran out of light. This book pulled me in from the beginning and kept me hooked till the end, I loved Logan’s character and I loved Delilah’s character. I think the way the author wrote Logan’s delusions was perfect, and I love that Delilah was slightly falling for it in parts but remained strong throughout it all. I recommend this book for anyone that’s in to these kinds of books and it has set me back on the path of reading more. It was the perfect book to read after not having picked up a book in many years.
great first reads

It’s so good I had to by the hard copy. If you like this, The New Girl, by the same author, is also good
