About this listen

In a future where privacy is gone, an internet innocent gets auctioned off to the highest bidder.

Eighteen-year-old Blanca has lived a sheltered life. Her entire childhood has been spent at Tabula Rasa School where she's been protected from the internet. Blanca has never been online and doesn't even know how to text. Her lack of a virtual footprint has made her extremely valuable, and upon graduation, Blanca - and those like her - are sold to the highest bidders.

Blanca is purchased by Cal McNeal, who uses her to achieve personal gain. But the McNeals are soon horrified by just how obedient and non-defiant Blanca is. All those mind-numbing years locked away from society have made her mind almost impenetrable. By the time Blanca is ready to think for herself, she is trapped. Her only chance of escape is to go online.

I really enjoyed this book! The only let down was one plot point was left unanswered but hoping this will be resolved in the second book which I will be starting now 😁

This was a surprise and well worth a listen from the plus catalogue. The writing and narration were both good and I found the story quite disturbingly realistic. I liked that it wasn’t too graphic about violence or abuse although both were implied.

Good story

This book wasn’t what I expected, and I’m glad for it! I read/listen to a lot of books in this genre so coming across a story that takes me by surprise is utterly delightful :-)

If you’re anything like me (autistic, with a history of childhood trauma and an interest in understanding the human psyche; especially how our early life experiences & circumstances affect us, and how we can break free of these mental prisons as adults) then I think you’re going to really enjoy this book!

Wonderful narration, interesting (and surprisingly relatable) story

It was ok but didn’t light up my interest or give anything beyond obvious plot.
