Beautifully executed but much more stressful than I imagined. Though I suppose it's my own fault because it has "Dread" in the title.

Chaos in graphic novel form! Katie and Nas are both aimlessly wading through life but when each character including Emma are drawn into Arko CEO Michelle’s bubble they have no choice but to ride that exceedingly unhinged wave.

The concept of never putting your phone down is abundantly obvious in this story and it does make you realise how much you miss having your nose buried in it but yet here I am back on mine!

A huge thank you to Black Crow PR for providing me with an ARC. I look forward to seeing where the story progresses.

A fun read with Emily McGoverns' humorous drawings to accompany the story.  Nothing too deep, but enjoyable anyway.
