Behind the Screen by Dana Isaly
0.5
fast-paced

A high-speed romance between a camgirl and a stalker. 

The camgirl went from absolutely terrified to attracted in a blink of an eye, which was unrealistic. The stalker goes by they/them and is non-binary, I believe - it wasn't very clear but that's no issue. However, the stalker was hired by the camgirl's father but we never did find out why or what came of it. It just ends. 

Perhaps it might be because there was less than 90 pages but there was no substance or depth to the relationship. It honestly had the vibe of a one night stand. The characters felt distant - we know absolutely nothing about them - and it was just impossible to feel engaged in their relationship. I enjoyed my previous read from Ms Isaly but this one was very disappointing in comparison. Overall, a very forgettable book.
