I am quite conflicted on how to rate this book. It was an easy read that had some deeper thought-provoking parts about the publishing industry which I enjoyed. There is an underlying message of not judging the lives of others because we tend to put on a good face but no one actually has it all together- except that she gets her fairytale ending, and it all just falls into her lap as soon as the bad parts of her life reach a breaking point, which also happens all at once and she gets immediate gratification of everyone finding out the truth at the same time with no push-back whatsoever. It was just too convenient and honestly, conflicting with the other messages that she seemed to be trying to convey. It was still a good read but there was some definite eye-rolling on my part toward the conclusion.
Moderate: Infidelity and Sexual content
