What a fun romp! Full disclosure, I won a free copy of the audiobook, so my review may contain unconscious bias. The audiobook narrator did a fantastic job, and the writing was witty and self-referential. The story is very meta—the author is writing about an author writing about an author who's a self-insert of herself—with lots of fourth wall breaking and playing with genre tropes. This is a book that doesn't take itself too seriously, and invites you along for the fun.
