Influencer Island by Kyle Rutkin
3.0

Influencer Island explores our dark obsession with social media and the role it plays in our lives.
The focus is on renowned artist, Wyatt James, (think Banksy) and their involvement event in a competition known as Influencer Island. Eleven of the most popular influencers are encouraging people to sign up to compete…the key rules, do what you need to in order to survive.
Some well-known YA fiction is alluded to here, and the characters were very obviously based on people we might recognise. However, the podcast format was an interesting idea.
From the outset this was clearly going to have a purpose we would need to uncover. The character of Cal was our lifeline here, though he had his own reasons for getting involved.
Thanks to the author and NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this before publication.
