Reputation

“It takes many good deeds to build a reputation and only one bad one to lose it.” – Benjamin Franklin

Emma is a former teacher turned politician who lost her marriage due to her political aspirations. Her relationship with her fourteen-year-old daughter also took a hit. Emma loves politics but not the things that go with it including the insults, bad press, and bullying on social media.


Flora is Emma’s fourteen-year-old daughter. Like her mother, she is dealing with both school and online bullying.

Mother and daughter will both see their reputations take a hit in this book. When a man if found dead in her home, Emma will fight to save her family as her reputation is torn apart.

This book was a bit of a slow burn for me and although I enjoyed it, it failed to completely win me over. I did enjoy how the author tackled bullying, the negative impact of social media bullying, harassment, and bad press.

Enjoyable but lacking in ‘wow’ factor for me. Others are enjoying this more than I did, so please seek out their reviews as well.

Thank you to Atria Books, Atria/Emily Bestler Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
