literally perfect??? i was trying to find flaws in this book that would make it not five stars and i literally could not think of any. perfectly executed for what it was.
thrilling and tense with such an interesting narrative and protagonist especially.
follows lowkey (HIGHKEY) evil protagonist who felt so realistic, and obviously she sucks but somehow you're vaugely endeared to her because you're only hearing her side of the story throughout.
it has genius and amazing writing with such a clear line of thought throughout, i was so hooked on it.
not the main point of the book but i enjoyed the look into the world of publishing lol.
read the whole thing in one sitting on the camp bus.
(with coco in the background which also has a stealing work plotline so that was silly)
