Get your creative juices flowing, polish up your writing chops because you have been invited to a month’s long writing retreat in the Blackbriar Estate in the Adirondacks. Your host is Roza Vallo! Yes! That Roza Vallo! The winner will receive a seven-figure publishing deal! Sounds like an opportunity of a lifetime, doesn’t it? But is it?
Alex has had writer’s block and knows that her ex-best friend, Wren will be at the retreat. But that is not enough to stop her from attending. All she and the other attendees must do is write an entire book in a month! It won’t be easy, Roza will see to that!
I was highly anticipating this book especially as the synopsis said the book would be claustrophobic! I love those kinds of books. Although, I did enjoy this, I didn’t love it. Things get a little (a lot) over the top which I don’t have an issue with as it was entertaining, but I did do some eye rolling. There is a book within a book in this which I also didn’t mind. The pacing was also solid, and things never felt dull or slow for me.
