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.

Insane and unexpected. Satirical take on the bleak morality within the publishing industry. Fun throughout.

I saw this book as the best seller everywhere in London so i decided to hear it. It is a lengthy and continuous condensation. Honestly i expected the climax to be alot better. The open ending was rather annoying and skin scratching.

One of the best of the best narratives I have read in recent times! Simply astonishing! ❤️😊🙌

Polarising book of the month. I fall on the negative side. This was nothing more than unputdownable and compulsive read. It's not the masterpiece that a few claim it to be.

Loved the narrator more than the story. The protagonist is such a villain that you get tired by the end of the book. Feeling negative and bit scared after the end. Would have liked a better ending
