👏Rebecca👏never👏misses👏

this amazing fast-paced story is about serious issues in the writing and publishing industry. she touches on these controversial topics through an objective lens yet manages to present them in an entertaining way, so the reader doesn't get bored and reads a tense story.

i also want to comment on the main character. she was so real. she made many mistakes, flops, and mastermind moves. i can relate to her more than i am willing to admit. she perfectly fits the narrative with her evil and practical way of thinking

i learned so much reading this page-turner and i would recommend this to anyone, especially to the ones that would want to publish something one day. it just gives you a whole new perspective on the publishing industry. 

i'm also kind of curious about how much Rebecca wrote about herself in this novel
