Holy cow, this is a long book. Don't get me wrong, I loved every bit of it but it felt like some fat could've been trimmed off. Shaving off half a star for it, so it's a 4.5/5 for me!
Aside from that, I genuinely love how Score's books get more and more absurd with each new release. If you're looking for a realistic story, Rock Bottom Girl is fantastic and is as close to reality as you can get. This? Not so much. I could totally understand how the implausibility/shtick-y tone could drive readers away, but for me, it worked. It's basically Score's version of The Devil Meets Prada, which is a cutthroat, unforgivable world I'm grateful to not be apart of but secretly love reading about whenever I get the chance. The heroine is so independent and kickass, albeit frustratingly stubborn at times, that it's hard to root against her. Would love a follow up to this, even if it's a novella!
