The audiobook is well done. The plot just started to spike my anxiety a bit too much to continue haha. Might pick up again another time

В целом неплохая история. Хотя с определенного момента было ясно к чему все идет. Мне нравится, как написано. 
Хотя для себя не нашла ни одного интересного персонажа или того, кто мне симпатичен.

Audiobook Netgalley:

This book grabbed me from the beginning. I very much enjoyed this concept of a once-famous author struggling to find his next great book. He meets a young man that claims to have the PERFECT PLOT that will be a runaway bestseller. Years go by, the young man never writes the book. I will end my synopsis there for fear of giving away too much. I think a good majority of readers will be reading this book to find out just what this perfect plot is.....but this book is more than that. I love the male narrator and his timing. Thank you Netgalley for an ALC of this title. I very much enjoyed it. Such a unique book.
fast-paced

I enjoyed this more than yellowface, but ultimately the twist was pretty obvious, and it was so hyped within the story that that was a bit of a letdown

While I liked this book, it was very obvious what the "twist" was from fairly early in the story.

Fun twist on the author stealing someone’s story bit. I liked how parts of the book were interspersed 
medium-paced

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me guessing up to the very end. 

The ending is maybe predictable (especially as you get closer to the ending) but it didn’t bother me. The ride was fun so a full 5 stars.
