Influencer Island by Kyle Rutkin
3.0
I was drawn to this book by the premise. So, I had to check it out. As soon as I started reading, this book got a vivid image of the island and what everyone looked like. I could see this playing out as a television series on Netflix or Hulu.
Where Cal is concerned, he is good. At least I did not mind him unlike the "influencers", which is supposed to be the point of the story. I don't follow celebrities or influencers because of the fact that most put on a "persona" that is not the real them and seems so fake. So, in the case of this book, you did not feel bad for what happened to them while competing on the island.
Although, I do wish that a bit more time was spent on the competition. It felt like it was rushed and most of the focus was spent on Cal and him tracking down Wyatt James.
