Book #75 of 2021.
I’ll start by saying I did not like this one. The story and plot were very interesting - I just did not like the characters AT ALL! They were vapid at best and cruel at the worst.
Florence is a low-level employee at a publishing house with dreams of being a famous writer. She burns her bridges there and a plum job falls into her lap. She becomes the personal assistant of a very secretive author. One so secretive that no one’s knows their real name or what they look like. She’s soon enamored of the author and agrees to go to Morocco with her to research the next novel.
All seems well until she wakes up in the hospital. She is told that she drove her car off a cliff and that she was alone. But where is her employer. What happens next is a twisty curvy who-done-it.
As I said, I liked the story fine but I wish the author had made one of the lead characters just a tiny bit likeable. 🤷🏾♀️
