I found this to be a riveting sequel and had difficulty putting it down. It also struck me as interesting that I found myself rooting for the main character, a psychopathic anti-hero. My only slight disappointment with the book was the ending, but that means we may see yet another book in this series. Note that in this case it is rather important to read ā€The Plotā€ first. Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the digital ARC. 4.5/5

This was a shockingly perfect escapist read for me over the weekend! Enjoyed it so much more than The Plot. Something about spending time with the unhinged female protagonist, perhaps...

This book is a definite extension of the first book in the best way. The same cheeky humor and peeking under the veil of the publishing/writing industry while also carrying some of the plot lines forward. It‘s bananas and I loved it.

Happily, I found this one less predictable than The Plot but also, it‘s incredibly far fetched. But there were a couple of real laugh-out-loud moments and overall, I enjoyed it!

Korelitz writes an anti-hero in a delicious way. While the idea of building a perfect life is taken to the extreme in this series, this novel reflects how many of us try to fool others into thinking we are something we are not. Between social media and our day-to-day lives, we all try to highlight our best parts. While most of us are just putting minor tweaks to our reality, Anna is taking it to a different level, making this novel quite twisty.

The Plot starts with Anna deciding to write her own novel after the death of her husband's book tour. However, this comes back to haunt her. Anna is determined to write her own happily ever after.

Anna is very snarky, is not 100% pure in her deeds and workings but you still want to root for her to win. There's information about the writing process, the publishing industry and this sequel is as good as the first book, "The Plot".

Book 196.
