The President Show by Costanza Casati
4.0
Please note, the author kindly sent me a copy in exchange for an honest review.
As a dystopian fiction lover, I will gladly add this to my list of favourites within the genre. Reading this made me pause to reflect on our current world and how it treats women, especially by those in positions of power, and realising what could become if we're not careful.
The plot itself naturally drew me in, as I wanted to see how Iris' experience on the show would pan out, and it was fast-paced and addictive to read. Every page felt like another surprise, and I always wanted to keep on reading.
Dystopian fiction always seems too abstract and unlikely to become our lived realities — but that’s part of its power. It reveals what is possible. This is an eye-opening and haunting debut novel from a very talented writer.
