This book was the definition of gaslight, girlboss, gatekeep, and I ate it up.

I saw a live with the author and her agent and was interested in reading this book. I will say the title itself drew me in because I wanted to know what Anna was hiding and although we found out pretty early on, I kept reading. The chapters were bite-sized, fast-paced, and kept me on the edge of my seat because I just needed to know how it ended.

I loved how we saw the point of view of Jamie, the ambitious journalist, and Anna, the CEO who is definitely hiding something. Both women will stop at nothing to “win.”

I could easily see this on the big screen, but despite enjoying the novel, the ending didn’t quite do it for me. I expected more. It felt like there was this huge buildup and then nothing. Well, technically, everything was resolved so I’m still a content reader, but I would have enjoyed a more climactic ending.

Overall, I'd recommend this book to a friend!

Thank you Netgalley and Sparkpress for the ARC!
