Such an interesting story. Still confused about some things but this story definitely drew me in. I think I’m going to need to do a re-read for this one though. Like how it ties into modern day problems with an old school concept.

I really didn’t know what to expect from this debut but was intrigued by the premise. Set in the near future on a reality TV show. Rawle did a great job creating tension throughout the book. I definitely wanted to keep reading to see how it ended. This is a slow burn character/society study of gender roles, consumerism, power, greed. I liked it!

Ok sorry but I loved reading a reality tv show! This actually was very dystopian so I felt it had more depth then just being like a show like love island.
