Who is the keeper of an idea, a storyline? Have we, as readers, read anything like The Plot before?
Thank you to Celadon Book for the group read opportunity and gifted copy for review!
Jacob Finch Bonner is a struggling author and sometime writing teacher, in search of his next novel. A great one; a bestseller.
Along comes his big break with the publication of Crib, the unconventional story of a mother and daughter. And with that, he receives anonymous messages on social media accusing that his story is not his.
Who owns the intellectual rights to written work, to ideas? The author, the inspiration, or one who has lived it?
Chapters alternate between Jacob's story and chapters from his book, Crib.
The Plot starts off slowly, but as we read through both the book's events and Crib, a whole set of reveals opens up to us.
Author Jean Hanff Korelitz has crafted a unique and smartly-crafted work and I especially enjoyed a look at the inner workings of the literary world and publishing industry.
For those looking for something a little different in a thriller - recommended!
Released on May 11.

The premise of this story intrigued me, and I’m glad that I got the opportunity to read it. There were some things that I enjoyed, and a few things that I didn’t, but overall, it was a good read that held my attention as I flew through it.
