I Need You to Read This by Jessa Maxwell
3.0
Thank you, NetGalley for the advanced readers copy of I Need You to Read This by Jessa Maxwell!
Alex Marks gets her dream job. But, with hidden secrets, death threats, and her own past coming to haunt her... is it really all it's cracked up to be?
The premise of this book sounded interesting! Reading about writers is always one of my favorite tropes.
The beginning half of this story felt more like literary fiction, and it was slow-moving to get to the mystery of it all.
Once we got into the mystery, I started to lose interest.
The ending felt rushed and my head was spinning with plot holes. I was not a fan of our main character in the latter half. When things got rolling Alex became super incompetent and things weren't adding up for me.
The writing in the story was great! But, I wasn't a fan of the mystery aspect-- which sadly, was the point of the book.
2.5 ⭐️ (rounded up)
