This was not my favorite book by this author. I was interested enough to keep reading, but I found all of the characters unlikeable. I had a hard time connecting with them and their choices. My favorite character was probably Mari, and I liked her twist at the end of the story. I wish we'd gotten more info on Emily's mysterious illness. It felt unresolved to me.

Thanks to Netgalley for the book to review.

Before starting, I heard this book described as Verity meets Daisy Jones. I was intrigued. I knew I had to read it.

With this comparison I was hoping it would knock my socks off. It didn’t. BUT it was a page turner that I couldn’t put down and now I can’t stop thinking about it. So maybe it did what it was supposed to do?

If you enjoy books about books and writing this is for you. This was easily my favorite part of the read.

Thank you to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
