I ate this book up. My original draw to it was that the main character played a fake Elsa in the book's version of Disneyworld and like descends into madness (I would argue that she was already mad but there is a trigger event that like intensifies it). This book is not for the weak but CJ Leede did a phenomenal job of creating a main character that I didn't like personally but was somehow still rooting for. There were just a lot of scenes that were so well done in terms of their absurdity but realness, specifically the doxxing scene and the ice rink scene. This was definitely one I couldn't put down, and the only reason it doesn't get a 5 star rating from me was that sometimes the plot could be hard to follow, and the ending felt a tad rushed to me.
