The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz
3.75
whAT IS THIS ENDING HOLY SHIT. i didn't see certain plot twists coming at all lmaoo, it got me thinking about how can someone even do such a thing. also it's crazy how the name of this book has such a double meaning, it's just horrible istg.
anyway, i did enjoy this story, it's unique and involves books/writing/publishing which is always something i absolutely love to read about. and it's a thriller, a huge bonus. the idea of it all is so well thought of, i hardly know any mystery/thriller books similar to this one.
i also really felt for Jake, all he's been thru and how he felt about it all throughout the book.
however... i didn't really vibe with the writing style. i don't even know how to explain it but it's just not something i personally like. the main character also kept repeating himself all the time about some things which i also found annoying. tbh, it was mainly the writing style and protagonist's inner thoughts what made me give such rating. it was good, but not my all time favorite!
