This book had me from the first line. Claustrophobic, tense and overwhelming. I have zero interest in reality tv shows, but was fascinated which how the author showed the manipulation of footage for the audience, which dovetailed nicely with the overall perception vs reality theme. Production team labels showing internet racism and bias in viewers. Zoos worry about motherhood, When she ended up becoming a defacto mom. Felt really bad about her guilt about being ready- she’s the child of a narcissist, of course she doesn’t feel ready. I wish she could have talked about that with her husband before leaving. Lots to unpack for a thriller novel. Will read again.
