Everything I want in a thriller!! This one is fast paced and hooked me from the beginning! I love reading about rich people drama and influencers and this book has PLENTY of that. All the characters have just enough sketchy things about them to make them all suspicious throughout the book, which made me want to keep reading to find out more! I really loved this book, it was fun and exciting and shocking all at once!

WOW this is one of the best thrillers I've read!!! Absolutely incredible story, very well written characters that pull you in, and a plot that always makes you want to read one more chapter! This was really fast paced and hooked me from the start. This one was a shock and absolutely nothing was predictable!! Highly recommend!

This was definitely not a book for me. Absolutely nothing happened, the plot was super boring. The majority of the book is just descriptions of a man having sex with a robot, which was SO weird. Both characters were flat and had nothing going for them, so it was hard to stay engaged.

This book reminds me of the robot sculpture that was programmed to scoop up it's own oil before it "dies" and everyone feels so bad for it even though it's literally a machine that has no feelings or emotions and was programmed for that one job.

I wish I would have DNF'd but was curious if anything else would happen.

Another great Abby Jimenez book!! I loved that this one didn't center around the miscommunication trope, that was getting so old. The Minnesota references were maybe a bit too much, but still fun to read, although the billboard reference was hilarious! I'm glad she didn't insert Nadia Cakes in as many times as she did in her previous books!! The ending was a bit too sudden and perfect for me, otherwise I really enjoyed this book! It was super easy to get hooked and fun to read from beginning to end.

This was such a fun read!! The perfect combo of Gossip Girl and a captivating thriller! This book is super bingeable, I read it all in one day! There were so many twists and turns that I just wanted to keep reading until it was over!

Thank you to Smith Publicity for the ARC!

This was such a great thriller! Super captivating and lots of twists and surprises! I was really invested in all the characters and it was great to get multiple perspectives.

3.5 rounded up. This was such a fun book in theory, but was way too long. I really enjoyed the first half of the book, but it got repetitive about halfway through. It was easy to read and was certainly a clever plot!

I wouldn't recommend this one because you can get the main idea of the book just by reading the synopsis.

I had a feeling the ending of this book was going to be a letdown about halfway through. There really wasn't anything unexpected or twisty and the characters fell flat for me. The ending was super dull and there were so many confusing things that never got resolved.

3.5 rounded up. The main character, Gwen, is really unlikeable and makes so many stupid decisions. Her tendency to cover discomfort with jokes was more annoying than cute. The other characters all felt incomplete and I couldn't quite figure out their point.

The plot was clever and I didn't see the twist at the end coming, so that was good! And it was pretty easy to read and thankfully there weren't too many characters to keep track of.

2.5 rounded up. The beginning was super fun because it started off as a fun throwback to the early 2000s, but then lost that quickly. Amber comes off as flat yet super whiny and I couldn't connect with her at all. This had so much potential but just ended up being a flat romance about a woman who is constantly chasing the next man.
