If you have any dreams of becoming a journalist, this book will definitely squash them!
The story pits two reporters, Stella, a high-powered assistant editor, against the new and idealistic Jess. Jess thinks she’s been recruited because of her high morals, but is that really the case? Once Jess finds out what is involved in tabloid reporting, she’s ready to go full-blown whistleblower! The problem is, she needs to go to some pretty sketchy places to get proof.
In the background are the two men who control it all, Pete, the owner of the conglomerate, and Max, the editor of the Globe. As the story strayed into “Me Too” territory I was worried it was going to stay strongly rooted in women’s fiction, but there are some action-packed dramatic scenes. The writing was vivid enough that I can absolutely see this becoming a made-for-tv movie.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press, Minotaur Books for an advance reader’s copy.
