Thank you Grand Central Publishing and A. E. Osworth for the gifted copy of We Are Watching Eliza Bright!  All opinions in this review are my own.

In the midst of a reading slump, I picked up We Are Watching Eliza Bright on a whim.  Ignoring the four other books I had temporarily abandoned, I was drawn to the bright cover.  I ended up reading this book in just about one sitting.

Told through a mix of narrative and instant messages, We Are Watching Eliza Bright is the story of a woman working at a video game company who tries to speak up against the harassment she faces for being a woman in her field.  When nothing is done, Eliza goes to a reporter and her story goes viral.

The narration is written in first person plural so I was immediately drawn in by the use of "we".  We are the audience that is watching this drama play out (most likely behind our own screens as we read the viral article).  However, Osworth begins to play with the reader by offering different scenarios at times depending on what "we" really think of Eliza.

We Are Watching Eliza Bright was so captivating to me because it read like a real story.  From people's personal information (like their address) getting shared online to reading one article and assuming you know everything about a person's story, it is all real and has happened.  By including the reader in the "we", they become complicit in Eliza's story too.

I honestly cannot say enough about amazing this book is and I can't wait to read Osworth's next release!
