How far will one go to have a hot story? What tactics would one use to get the “story” before anyone else does? What if that story is a lie?
This book explores the ugly side of the tabloid press utilizing two journalists. Stella is a seasoned journalist who will do whatever she needs to do to come out on top. Jess is a new journalist who questions the ethics of reporting and believes in telling the truth.
When a celebrity pays the ultimate price after being hounded, Jess is determined to uncover the truth….
This book was slow, and I struggle with slower paced books. It does pick up but never fully won me over. I didn’t care enough about any of the characters and found myself being bored at times.
I had both the book and the audiobook and mainly listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narration. It is a shame that the narration could not win me over. Too slow for me, but I did appreciate how the author showed the ugly side of tabloid journalist and the tactics utilized to hound celebrities to break the news first.
I have enjoyed other books by Sandie Jones and was shocked that this one didn’t work for me. We can’t love them all. As I have enjoyed her previous books, I will happily read what she writes next. Others have enjoyed this book more than I did, so please read their reviews as well.
Although this book did not work for me, It was well written and I enjoyed that she showed the perspective of both Jess and Stella.
Thank you to Macmillan Audio, St. Martin’s Press, Minotaur 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.
