Under the Influence
by Noelle Crooks
Sometimes I think it might be nice to be an influencer, or at least work for one. Their social media lives are so shiny and enviable. And talk about perks! Well after reading I pretty much changed my mind.
Harper is in her late 20s and her life is definitely not what she thought it would. She is followed by a string of failed jobs and has not had any serious relationships since her college boyfriend moved back home. So when she finds a job ad online for someone that is looking to be a boss babe and turn her life around, Harper thinks what the heck and applies. Less than 24 hours later, Harper’s life changes drastically. New job with a women’s empowerment influencer (that she’s never heard of) with nebulous description of her duties. Will she drink the kool aid and become just as enthusiastic as her new coworkers? Or will Harper remain true to herself?
I got definite cult vibes from this book but that might have been kind of the point. And I could totally empathize with Harper. She felt like everything was going wrong so when she found something that might be able to go right, she clung to it like a life raft and gave it her all. We’ve all had that feeling where we get so hyped about something that other things in our life get moved to the back burner for a bit.
Wasn’t a big fan of the ending. I wanted there to be more detail regarding the events leading to the end. There was so much description throughout the book that the ending felt slightly rushed to me.
I would definitely love to see a special edition of some chapters in the books from the perspectives of the other employees and former employees.
