I liked this book, although it's an unusual format, telling a story through scripts and web episodes. Jake is a good character though

The premise of this book really intrigued me; soaps are such a big part of the UK and millions of people watch them every day. Personally, I've never been able to keep up with how often they're on. Cuckoo really gave me a deeper insight into the world of soaps, and just how cut-throat the business can be. The whole soap drama, with Jake being written off the show for so long was what I liked about the book. What I didn't like was the video diaries and the reenactments - and I disliked them so much I could only give this 3/5 sadly.
