Like Me: A Novel by Hayley Phelan

4.0

I actually liked this more than I expected to. The insta-world fascinates me as I’m clearly not it’s target market and so am perhaps more able to view it in a cynical and remote way. Mickey is awful. She’s exactly the sort of person I would hate my daughter to be. Spoiled, privileged, entitled, addicted to drink and drugs, all that matters is the public persona she’s creating. The style of writing works perfectly to create her world. So then when it starts to spiral out of control it seems so apt. In some ways perhaps a payback for the things she’s done. I’m still not entirely sure what happened to Gemma, if she ever existed even, but I can honestly say that I did enjoy this book.
