Off the Air by Christina Estes

2.0

I don't think this book was what i expected it to be, and that’s on me. I anticipated a more humorous type story probably due to the cartoon cover but really it’s just a straightforward story about a reporter trying to break the story before getting scooped- yet again. Which in itself isn't bad- however the person who died wasn't interesting and she really made it clear that everyone else was reporting wrong and she was the only one following the cardinal journalism rules. I also really struggled with the writing style. Every pop culture or Phoenix cultural reference was followed by 3 paragraphs of explanation. Either your audience gets it or not but stopping to explain the connections took me out of the story. Suffice, to say I didn't enjoy this book but overall it was well written and might be perfect for someone else.
