This book has a unique premise, but I struggled connecting with the characters and plot. It was an entertaining read but not one that I truly loved, I’m sorry to say.

My thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I really enjoyed this book except im not sure what I think about the final few lines. I thought this book was different and I liked the hologram plot line. I would recommend this book to other and I would be interested in reading another book by this author.

So, after gaslighting the shit out of her characters, the author decided to cheekily point out that the reader was also being punked (potentially)? Did...was that supposed to be cute?

Vantage Point is so incredibly funny and clever that I am reading it again.
It's a dark satire of the wealthy Wieland Family. They are so unlucky that they make the Guinness family seem fortunate.
When Jess was a teenager, her family died in the most awful and macabre way. Almost all Wieland deaths take place in the cursed month of April. Or do they?
Teddy is her spoiled brat elder brother. He's running to be a senator, and we are shown how he only cares about how things impact upon him.
I don't want to spoil the plot or the hilarious fake Wikipedia entries that litter this brilliant book. It's just so incredibly well written.

I enjoyed the premise of this book, It was a great interrogation of how deep-fake technology impact political and familial relationships. I just wish there was a little more suspense and mystery behind it.

Deepfakes and scandal and internet trolls, oh my!

The Wieland family knows tragedy, in fact through the years so many incidents have befallen them that there is said to be a curse upon the brood that takes place in April. Teddy and Clara and Teddy’s wife Jess are the latest generation to deal with life changing events that rock their world.

The three are living on a quiet Maine island called Vantage Point, inhabiting the expansive family property that has been in the home to Wielands for generations when an explosive video of Clara is leaked to the public. Chaos descends, and Clara becomes convinced the event captured never happened leading to a story full of twists and turns, dragging the nagging shadow of doubt.

This was a very well written story. The character descriptions are nuanced and layered. I found Clara to possess a haunting quality—she was supremely affected by her past experiences in a way that stunted her growth, kept her from maturing and moving forward. The inclusion of current technological trends wrapped up in a political race made for a unique tale that kept me interested, and, that ending, wow.

I recommend Vantage Point, especially if you’re interested in family dynasties and books with a technological storyline.

I received this free advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review and feedback.

The writing is sharp and the chapters alternate between Clara’s point of view and that of Jess’s, her best friend and sister-in-law. I never quite knew what to expect as I turned each page and was immersed in this exploration of technology (vs. reality), class, ambition, and misogyny.

The Wieland family has it all, money, fame, and fortune along with a deadly curse. Not every April, but always in April, members of the family die tragically. The current generation brother and sister are entering the month of April when things start to go horribly wrong. Is it the curse or is there another explanation for the happenings? Solid story that keeps you turning the pages.

I didn't have high expectations of this book after the first few pages. It was a little slow but I was determined to finish.As I read on it got better. I got invested in the characters. The idea that the author came up with about the method used by the " villain" was very unique. For the most part it was very well written. I did enjoy the ending..

Such a good read that I enjoyed! I'm so glad that I got the chance to read it early and will definitely be recommending it to multiple people who enjoy these types of novels. I enjoyed the characters and especially enjoyed the writing by this author. I'm excited to see what the author comes out with next as I'll definitely be reading it! Thank you to the publisher for my early copy of this book!

Thank you for the opportunity to review - I really enjoyed reading this, and found it engrossing. I'm curious if a tighter edit might make it even more zippy.

Growing up Rich always seems to have its consequences…. Oh and sure throw in a family curse while you’re at it.
Two friends that you toggle between “Vantage Points”. But when one friend married the others brother it changed the dynamics …. While the drama unfolds so does the mystery of who’s causing this chaos and why? Will anyone Rich take responsibility for things they don’t get that they feel entitled to?
While reading this book it brings up many questions in where our technology is going and how it can and will be used in the future of society.

OMG I loved this book. I was immediately intrigued by the storyline and the characters and wanted to know everything about their backgrounds and history. I wish the book had delved more into Jess’s background but overall I really really enjoyed it.

An intriguing premise, with full-formed characters that engage the reader. The setting is vivid, and I wish this was being released during the summer as the remote yet privileged coastal setting makes this a perfect recommendation for a beach read!

I wanted to like this, I really did. Overall, it was not a bad read. It just moved more slowly than I wanted it to and left what I felt like were important plot points unresolved or just blew over them. I thought the beginning of the novel through to the middle were well thought out and made sense. The characters were engaging and interesting. I'm not sure what happened with the last fourth or so of the book. It felt unfinished somehow and it felt as if the author was just ready to wrap things up and be done. I wish more explaining had been given and that plot points, like the cameras, had been more fleshed out instead of just swept under the rug at the end.

Overall, an ok summer read, but nothing outstanding here.

One of my favorite storylines is about rich people with big problems. Add a slice of politics to the mix, making a perfect cocktail. Clara and Teddy lost their parents in a tragic accident. As you can imagine, they have experienced significant trauma. Teddy is married to Clara's best childhood friend and a reluctant campaigner. Clara has dealt with her trauma through drinking and drugs. This is not good for the political campaign, which constantly tries to avoid controversy. This was an entertaining read that moved quickly.

This was such a thriller to read! Such a suspenseful downfall that made me glad to fall with it. It was so twisty and easy to read. I couldn’t put it down

The nature of reality and memory, the power of curses and superstitions, and the bonds that tie us together are explored in this taut, timely, and tense novel.

This advanced reader's copy was provided by the publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.

An arresting read about the illusions and the dangers of technology and how it can be used to the detriment of someone’s life and sanity. The Weilands are a rich powerful family. Teddy and Clara are all that are left after the “curse” claimed their parents years ago. That’s right. A family curse that comes around in April. When Teddy runs for a senate seat, videos surface of Clara in an intimate setting. She doesn’t remember filming them, but she’s struggled for years with eating disorders and addiction, so no one believes her that they may be fake. Are they? Or is she losing her grip on reality. Or is there something more sinister going on. Everybody has their secrets.

So different from anything I've ever read before! An excellent thriller that you won't be able to put down!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!
