Loved the look at the various aspects that came alongside--Emmy's "pod" of Instamums, the commentary on how Instamums are different from the US to the UK to Aus, the moments where Coco broke from the mould, and of course the dark side. And it's incredibly creepy to realise that this book was written by a husband-and-wife duo! Don't mistake this book as fluffy: it gets very gritty at points, and has a constant element of creepy vulnerability running right through it. There's a slight twist to this at the end that might be less of a twist and more of a bow tied neatly around the package to keep the main plot nicely together, though I wished that a subplot had also been pulled in. Though I felt at moments that it focused too much on the more dramatic elements and not enough on the more personal elements, like Emmy's backstory, this was an easy read to run through. Cute & quirky story, love the way the magical world was embedded into modern day. The complexity of the mystery was also great. There were a few plot holes that weren't resolved or followed up on so that was a bit disappointing. Some of the ignorance in the town was also a bit over done. Like the sheriffs personality. The very last twist didn't really make sense, and left me with an ugh feeling, with how divorces work it was really a moot point but seems to now be made into a plot twist. I would continue in the series & recommend it to cozy readers.
People Like Her (Mantle, £14.99), the first novel from husband-and-wife writing team Ellery Lloyd, is a cautionary tale for the social age. Instamum Emmy Jackson, whose "Mamabare" account offers a purportedly unfiltered view of life with three-year-old Coco and newborn Bear, is adept at keeping the brand relatable while plugging her sponsor's products. Not everyone is happy: the performative motherhood is starting to grate on husband Dan ("Papabare"), but his last novel was published eight years ago and Emmy pays the bills so he's forced to play along - and now somebody seems determined to undermine their carefully curated public lives by posting stolen photos. Sharp observation, well-drawn characters and cleverly ramped-up paranoia more than make up for the rather hammy ending. Distinciones
Emmy Jackson es más conocida como @mama.sin.secretos para su legión de seguidores online. Es la insta-mamá que dice las cosas como son: todo, desde los pechos a punto de explotar hasta consejos para la resaca de los padres. Para su escéptico marido, no es la gran escritora que parece ser, después de todo es él quien ha publicado libros. La realidad es que su esposa es una excelente influencer, ha logrado transformar su vida en contenidos para redes sociales de manera brillante, y es ella quien sostiene la casa. El matrimonio de Emmy comienza a ceder bajo las exigencias de la vida online. Ya no tiene privacidad y sus principios comienzan a tambalearse. Un peligro muy real acecha a su familia. Hay alguien que se mueve entre las sombras, sigue cada uno de sus movimientos y lee todos las publicaciones de Emmy en internet. Ella se ha vuelto su obsesión. Es objeto de un profundo odio y víctima de un plan intrincado y cruel que busca destruirla por completo. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This was a BOTM selection. While I don't think it was awful, I am surprised that this would be included in what has always had such a longstanding, influential reputation. ( )
