Reviews

[Nessa Luna]

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, this has not changed my opinion in any way.

The premise of this book was very promising - a girl using a youtube reality series to try and find her mother's killer. But for me, personally, I think it didn't really deliver. I really enjoyed the first half of the book and I actually stayed up way too late reading through the majority of this book, but the way the book ended brought my rating down to a 3,5 star instead of a full 4 star.

I wasn't a huge fan of Jess as a main character and I didn't really like her friends either. She didn't grow on me until later on in the book, but then towards the end, she did some things that made me sigh out loud multiple times.

All-in-all I thought it was an interesting book, but the ending kind of 'ruined' it for me (I guess, idk that's not really the right word).
