This is an excellent book.

The characters - either "now" or "future" are really, really well written. Every single one of them has their own identity and the choices they make follow on nicely from this.

I really liked the time hopping and the way both sides meshed together.

The plot is really where this book comes into its own. It takes the immediacy of social media and influencers and pushes it to a whole new level that I can quite honestly see happening and this is terrifying. There were a few things here and there that I didn't quite get behind 100% but they were few and far between and didn't bring down my enjoyment in the slightest.

Nailed the ending too, which as i was getting towards the end was big worry.

I’m afraid this one was just not for me and I found it hard to keep reading. I liked the premise of the story but found the storyline disjointed and somewhat confusing.

Sadly, I was disappointed by this book. It's got so much content to it - there are two different stories being told from chapter to chapter and one is way, way more interesting than the other- that any sharpness or importance gets lost under the sheer amount of stuff being thrown at you. In the futuristic sections, whilst they were interesting, I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the references that just felt a bit...dumb? For lack for a better word? A story about a woman who spends her life being watched by followers is really exciting, yet it's punctuated by what feels like a whole other novel, of two women trying to survive in modern society. I wanted to like it, but I think it's lost its way.
