This book has left me feeling so conflicted, I have bounced around on a rating and I am still trying to process what happened in the last 25% of the book. 

This was not at all what I expected but I am not mad it. This story follows Amanda, a singer who had a very large fall from fame. She is given the opportunity to claw back that fame, alongside a very healthy pay check. All she has to do is agree to be locked in a house for a week, with strangers, take a pill with no adverse side effect every day, and be watched by cameras 24/7. Feeling like she has so much more to gain than lose she cannot find a reason not to go agree to it. Next thing she knows Amanda is locked in a house with people shes never met at everyone starts to descend into madness, all centred around her. 

I loved the concept of this story, the first half of the book was a lot of getting to know people and understand the characters and the setting, then it all starts to really unravel. I did see the twists in this coming but it didn’t at all take away from enjoying the book, I feel like the end will sit with me for a while. 

I am hoping there might be a sequel coming so I can see what happens following the end.
