THIS IS ONE HELL OF A STORY.

IT’S JUST NOT HERS TO TELL.

When failed writer June Hayward witnesses her rival Athena Liu die in a freak accident, she sees her opportunity… and takes it.

So what if it means stealing Athena’s final manuscript?

So what if it means ‘borrowing’ her identity?

And so what if the first lie is only the beginning…

Finally, June has the fame she always deserved. But someone is about to expose her…

What happens next is entirely everyone else's fault.

I got really sucked into this addictive page-turner of a novel. It was only after I'd finished the novel that I began to ask myself, 'how on earth did I end up rooting for such a toxic narrator for the whole time I was reading this?' It was almost as though the narrator had cast a spell on me.

There were many plot twists and none of them were predictable. The showdown at the end took my by surprised and was an immensely very satisfying ending.

The actor who read the audiobook did a splendid job too, especially with the different voices and accents, all of which sounded natural and distinctive.

Interesting plot line, bit different at least to same old. Dragged out way too long imo
But worth a read I suppose. “Just”

Abridged would be better

It lived up to the hype, was well written and a damning indictment of today’s publishing industry. Well done, Rebecca! The narrator was really good too. I am usually disappointed by books these days - but this was funny, bitchy, observant, moving at times, honest and fearless. Loved it.

Exceeded expectations

Brilliant narration, I finished this book in just a couple of days. Would highly recommend to anyone! Great.

Really gripping

Compelling story with unlikable main character that keeps you turning the pages. Found ending the perpetrator a little obvious but story still enjoyable

Interesting
