Thank you to netgalley for a free e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
A very compelling story, it was hard to put down. The main character gives psychopath vibes. Juniper was a very unlikable character but hearing the story from her point of view was challenging. There was lots of talk about race and racism.
I really liked the inside look at the publishing world, very interesting. I would definitely recommend this story.
