This was so unbelievably cheesy in the worst way. It's trying way too hard to be enemies to lovers. I don't understand how so many thriller and mystery lovers are reading this...there was no mystery and focused on the bad romance instead. I don't understand the appeal. 

WOW!!! This book has absolutely everything: suspense, drama, romance, heartbreak, and it all comes together so beautifully! This is an absolutely incredible read that will hook you from the beginning and won't let go until the absolute last page. I was so attached to all the characters and couldn't wait to see what would happen to them next!! This was so well written, a perfect gold medal for me! 🥇

Wow, a sequel that's as good as the original!! This one somehow manages to be a follow-up that doesn't drag on or repeat the same issues and character flaws. I was so hooked because I wanted to see where this book would take the characters and how they would all make it through their own set of challenges. It got so intense towards the end of the book and I couldn't put it down!! I loved this so much!

A very unnecessary sequel that wasn't unique from the first. The main character was very hateable and not in a fun way, just annoying, greedy, and whiny. There was a ton happening all at once, which made it hard to follow and very confusing. I wouldn't recommend this one. 

The audiobook is narrated by Kelly herself, and she's so wonderful to listen to! Her life has been so fascinating and it's fun to learn about all her experiences and life lessons. I really enjoyed this memoir, especially as an audiobook!!

This one was really tough for me to get into, and I think it had a lot to do with the book being translated. There's always references or phrases that don't quite make sense after translation, and often I feel like the grammar is much more formal. 

Overall the plot was interesting, but it seemed like there were a ton of things that came up once and were never addressed, or characters that just seemed to fade away. Apparently this is book one of a much longer series, so I would hope those things would be addressed in future books?

Just a hard one for me to get into and get interested in, but not a bad book!

A great thriller that dives into the lives of social media influencers and what they'll do to get (and keep) their influence. 

The main characters were so hateable in such an entertaining way! They were both wrong in everything they did, but they were also both so calculated and conniving. 

I absolutely love stories that combine a thriller element with influencers, and this book did a great job of mixing the two! There were unexpected twists and a very surprising ending that I loved! A bit of female rage goes a long way!

Couldn't get into this one as an audiobook, I might try later as a physical book. 

Absolutely INCREDIBLE thriller!! This is definitely my favorite book of hers yet!! The characters were so built out that they felt real and it was so easy to connect with them. I loved how the book was written as the main character writing a book as well as snippets of forum chats. I was hooked into the story as soon as I started reading, and it didn't let up until the last page!! I really loved this one, what a fun thriller!

This one was SO GOOD!! I've been in a weird reading mood lately and haven't felt truly compelled by a book in a while. I drove home from work faster just so I could keep reading!! I absolutely loved the dual perspective that switched halfway through the book and getting to see how each woman dealt with wealth and marriage! I was so hooked from the beginning to the end, and even though I saw the major twist coming I still loved it!
