Absolutely gripping and captivating. An unexpected pro was learning more about the behind-the-scenes of publishing! Excellent critique and discussion of cancel culture and race politics without it feeling overly dated. I felt like it didn’t quite stick the landing but the journey was mesmerizing. It’s remarkable how much I hated and loved the POV character.
