Thanks to the author and Tandem Collective UK for having me along for the The Compound Readalong.
I’ll be the first to admit, I hate reality tv…. I don’t watch it at all. But when I saw this book I thought maybe I’d like it in a book format and I wasn’t wrong, I really liked this book.
This book was for sure entertaining and a lot of fun. It could have been an easy 5 star read for me but the ending let it down. This is the perfect summer

It’s been a long time since a book made me feel this type of rage and hate for a character. Tom literally made me feel sick. This was well-written and so interesting. I loved it.

Strange read. I liked the idea of it for a holiday read, the idea of reading a dystopian love island was intriguing to me and I just wanted something easy. But it is literally a rip off of love island with some hints of dystopia. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either. I liked its overall commentary of overconsumption and being influenced so much by a game that there is no sense of reality. (The hunger games does this well due to its complex story) I liked its narrative on the current world of tv like this, it’s smart but also depressing. The main character is perfect for its message. I just personally hate reading 350 pages of information I feel I already know. Can be repetitive and the story and relationships in the story feel benign because they don’t really matter to the overall message of the book. Just could have been a 200 pager, felt I wasted some time 😩💅
