I may not be the intended audience for this book. I found it to be very poorly written with choppy and awkward sentences. I also don't understand the premise of the book. The main character seems to think that authors who write for commercial companies is them "selling out" and that it's beneath them. The characters were not well developed so it made it difficult to care about them enough to drag through this train wreck of a novel. Thanks to Netgalley and Mariner Books for a free ebook of this title in exchange for an honest review.

I’m a little confused as it says this book was originally published in 2018 with a different cover which, to be honest, didn’t suit the story. Regardless, it took me a bit to warm up to Casey. I found her pretty unlikeable until the very end. I loved the TV show idea + wished someone would take Oprah’s place in this way. There were many funny parts layered with a lot of intelligent commentary on so many things - social media, the book industry, cycle breaking. It was a good escape but smart which is always welcome.
