This book follows Saine Sinclair as she tries to make a documentary to get into University. She is forced to take the grudging help of her former best friend, now enemy, and gets carried away with the quality of the film, ignoring the quality of her friendships.

Whilst I would love to take part in the competition in the book (recreating classic video games!), I found the main character so unlikeable and selfish I struggled to finish the book.

As I was listening to this book I felt like ticking the cliché’s off on my fingers:

  • Enemies-to-lovers
  • Mutual pining
  • Highschool drama
  • Complete inability to communicate
  • Sad backstories
  • Cheerleaders

Saine really got on my nerves with her habit of putting her camera in other peoples faces constantly and she has the ultimate Main Character Syndrome.

That said, it’s an easy read and I found the audiobook acceptable company when walking my dog, so if you’re after something light that requires little attention give it a go!
