Wow.
There is so much incredible stuff going on in this story.
The main character is instantly likeable and relatable. We all remember being a teenager with big dreams. This is a girl with talent and the drive to succeed.
She finds herself in a terrible position but the story makes you understand how she got there. It is such a great portrayal of the abuse of power and celebrity. I think this story is so important for teens of today and I think every teen will be able to connect with this book. The book is very timely. Celebrities are more accessible than ever because of social media and teens are more at risk because of it. The book does a great job of showing the red flags while still showing why a young girl would fall prey this type of abuser.
The book tackles a huge, depressing issue and handles it with care. It also has a mystery element that starts to get a bit excessive near the end but I think that it might help keep teens interest.
The narration was really wonderful. She really did a perfect job. I listened to it all in 1 day which is something I never do.
Compulsively readable while delivering an important message.

My most anticipated YA book and it lived up to the five stars as I thought it would be! I loved this audiobook so much, it definitely told the story, I listened to it in a day. I ate this book up! I loved the story and characters as a whole. Men truly do take advantage of young girls especially rich ones that know they can buy silence.
I loved everything about this book, the only compliant is I wish it was a little longer. However I still enjoyed this real story through the work of fiction.

Thanks to Netgalley & Harper Audio for the opportunity to listen to the audiobook! I also did already preordered this book a while ago!

Even though I just finished this, I instantly want to re read, annotate and listen to the audiobook again.
