I thought this was a great commentary on the corrupt nature of Hollywood today, especially when it comes to tokenism and the appropriation of stories/ideas.
I know it’s all part of the dark satire angle but I had a hard time getting past the unlike-ability of almost every character in the book. I wanted to root for Jane but it was difficult.
