Set in a dystopian future where water scarcity grips New Zealand, Alice's childhood imaginary friend, Simp has returned. Her current life is unfulfilling and Alice is jaded as the world crumbles around her. So when she meets a handsome wealthugee from Hong Kong - Pablo, he could be the perfect man to take her mind off things and treat her to a good time.
I absolutely loved the character of Alice, the writing is incredible and she is totally believable whilst still being funny. The twists in the plot are great and really well executed. Just when you think things are weird enough, it just gets more bizarre, which I absolutely loved.
The narration is delivered with impeccable skill, enhancing the immersive experience. Overall, this book offers a captivating blend of imagination, suspense, humour and expert storytelling that will leave readers thoroughly entertained!
