A book about writing and racism apparently influenced by the author's experiences of publishing. Unfortunately I found it all just a bit “meh”. Everyone is slightly unlikable and borderline awful which makes it hard to care. I didn't enjoy the social media stuff and the reveal at the end wasn't worth the work up. Worst of all, our protagonist learns nothing and off she goes planning to write more “me, me, me” tripe.
I think I'd rather have read The Last Front, it certainly sounds like a more interesting read.
