This book is officially getting juicy, and I wasn’t expecting it. I’m a little annoyed with the main character because she keeps making poor life choices, but honestly, I’d probably do the same, which makes it even more frustrating. She’s flawed, a bit annoying, and very real. I love and hate her at the same time, which feels like a sign of good writing.

I love how it moves back and forth in time and keeps revealing things little by little. It reminds me of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, which I loved. The mix of news articles and past scenes keeps you intrigued, answering questions just enough without spoiling anything.

So far, the book has captured my attention immediately. I really appreciate how different it feels, and I like the way the protagonist’s voice comes through, it almost reads as if she is telling her story through a magazine, which fits perfectly with her role as a journalist.
