whatfionareads 's review for:

The Imposter by Anna Wharton

3.0

---

I really enjoyed the premise of this debut novel by Anna Wharton, but I felt like there was something lacking there and I can't quite put my finger on what. I didn't really gain any attachment to any of the main characters, and I particularly had a dislike to the protagonist, Chloe, she seemed largely disconnected from a lot of the issues in her life. There felt like a lack of emotion attached to things that should have been major points (no spoilers here!), although you do learn later on that there could be years of issues causing this and so it may be understandable further down the line.

"Why are people so tied to reality" is a line that stood out for me in this book as you can tell Chloe isn't quite in touch with the real world.

I would read other novels by this author as I think there is definitely potential there, this one just wasn't for me.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review
