Mrs.Park's writing was very detailed,and provided an in depth analysis on the corrupt nature of the film/tv industry,and the secrets that stay hidden by any means necessary.
The main life lesson throughout the story was that the truth always reveals it's self,and when it does there's no where to hide.
The characters each had their own motives,and beliefs. The main character Chobahm made a choice to protect her family,and for a chance at a better life. The teamwork ,and fierce determination from Shinae, Somyoung,and Chobahm was amazing.
From start to finish this thriller captured my attention with it's secrets,mystery,Science Fiction elements, and strong cast of characters.
I look forward to reading the sequel when it comes out Spring 2025.

There are a lot of twists and turns by the end, even if I could see some of them coming. I also appreciated that this is a dystopia with basically no romance. So definitely bonus points for that!
