“You act like words don’t belong to everyone. You act like words don’t belong to everyone. You act like stories don’t have real people attached to them.”
————————————
I’m rarely at a loss for words but I have no idea how to rate this book. Its premise is so unique. I’m not going to give away too much about the plot; but basically a relatively unsuccessful author adapts a unique plot from one of his writer workshop students and gets caught. He begins being hounded by someone accusing him of plagiarism and begins to unravel.
I enjoyed this read for the most part. I loved the idea. But it spent too much time in Jake’s head for my liking. I prefer books with a lot of dialogue, especially these types of modern thrillers. Don’t get me wrong, there was lots of suspense but when you figure things out before the protagonist it can be a little boring going around and around in their head with loose ends you’ve already tied in your own brain.
I definitely think it is worth a read because of its uniqueness but there are some parts that drag a little in the middle. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Thanks to Netgalley for a copy of this novel. All opinions above are my own.
