Blurb: When failed writer June Hayward witnesses her rival Athena Liu die in a freak accident, she sees her opportunity… and takes it.

So what if it means stealing Athena’s final manuscript? So what if it means ‘borrowing’

Notes: Had been meaning to get round to reading this for a while as it was very popular when it first came out. Used book tokens I got for Christmas to get this and a few other books. Enjoyable read and well written. Interesting take on social media and modern life but I read the first half with a looming sense of dread waiting for the downfall. When it came (spoilers!) I was quite relieved as meant I could relax a bit.
