Reputation delves into the world of politics and the importance of reputations. It also examines sexual exploitation in social media.
Emma is a rising politician. She has made many sacrifices to be where she is and hold on to her shiny reputation. She is not comfortable being in the spotlight but she tolerates it, even the sexualisation and verbal abuse she suffers - she wants to make a difference, but at what cost?
As a person who does not enjoy the political side of life, I struggled to read this book but I was very curious to see who dunnit.
I found the story engaging and the issues covered were realistically presented. The characters I found very difficult to like, especially Emma. The plot’s ebbs and flows moved the book along nicely but I was not riveted to my seat eager to read on. Shame.
I did enjoy the ambiguity during the trial - the did she, didn’t she was played out beautifully and the end was very satisfying considering the overall circumstances. So overall I was pleased.
I am eager to read her first book Anatomy of a Scandal so I can then watch the dramatisation of it. I am curious what the fuss is all about.
I am hugely grateful for the chance to read this book and present a review. Thanks for waiting so long for it.
