I actually ended up really enjoying this book despite the things that really threw me off. I do truly think this would make for a great tv show set up especially with the twist and turns and everyone going at each other by the end.
I will say the multimedia aspect really threw me for a loop for awhile and honestly almost made me DNF the book. It was hard to keep track of who my characters were since we really didn’t get to know them. It was very much how a play would be set up. They’re introduced with their general jobs and how they are and they look but after that you just have them referenced as it comes up in conversation. For the first 100 pages or so I had to keep going back to the beginning because I couldn’t remember whose background was whose which was kind of annoying.
But the drama that unfolds really kept me going. So much that I pretty much binged the whole book and only put it down to sleep and do things that needed to be done for the day.
