I picked this book up because of the reviews. It was a fast read. I started yesterday and I’m already finished.
It’s not bad, but not up to hype it got, in my opinion.
The main romance: the relationship with >!Celia st. James!< felt dry and slightly abusive.
I kept reading to understand why she picked Monique beside the obvious choice >!about the article on the right to die. That part was clear from the beginning since she was doing a memoir and refusing to say when she could publish!<.
As soon there was that scene with her driver Nick I had figured it out why she has chosen the protagonist and kept reading until the end.
It felt shallow and a beach read at best. It had zero emotional impact on me and I couldn’t form a bond with any of the characters except maybe Harry and her second maid.
Thoughts?

There's a fantastic dystopian novel called 'The Tomorrow File' by Lawrence Saunders. I've never seen it hyped anywhere. I'm pretty sure it's because the author wasn't part of the right clique.
Reviews and blurbs are mostly a game.
