ALL the goods:
- This thriller literally felt like it was made for me, with the combination of Ace of Spaces, Squid Games, and a smidge of the Bachelor.
- I felt like this book was perfectly paced between the introduction and 3 tasks we focus on. I couldn't stop listening.
- The concept felt unique and I did not see any of the twists coming. I was constantly surprised.
- The resolution in this book was EXTREMELY satisfying. It was everything I wanted.
- Adina's character progression in this book was something unexpected but that I thoroughly enjoyed
Overall, if you like YA thrillers and don't mind the reality TV feels, you'd most likey enjoy this book
