Thank you to Minotaur and NetGalley for the ARC of The Trade Off. All opinions in this review are my own.
I have held off writing my review of The Trade Off because I feel like I am still trying to process what I think about it. I liked the newspaper is exposed for entrapping celebrities for headlines angle, but Jess's naivety were grating after awhile. She took a job at The Globe, a tabloid, so it was hard to understand why she was so shocked by everything that was happening. She used her morals to judge the other characters which got to be annoying after awhile. The uneven pacing throughout the story didn't help her either. However, I liked the reveal at the end and how everything came together.
