Summary:
When Clare loses her job as a technical writer at a pharmaceutical company due to AI, she has one month’s rent saved and a historical fiction novel she’s been unable to get published. Desperate, she turns to Amber, a young influencer in her apartment building, for help promoting the book.
Amber offers Clare a shocking deal: fifty percent of the profits—if Clare allows her to claim the novel as her own. Running out of money and options, Claire hesitantly agrees.
Then, the unimaginable happens. The book is an instant runaway hit—a viral phenomenon, skyrocketing to the top of multiple bestseller lists. Literary agents reach out to Amber, eager to sign her, and Clare begins to suspect Amber is cheating her out of money. Until Amber is found dead…
My thoughts:
What an addictive, twisted short story from Sagit Schwartz…I flew through this one and wanted more! I cannot believe how much she packed in a story that isn’t even 40 pages long. I loved the insights we got into both an author’s world and the publishing world. And that ending – perfection!
Sagit has proven she is a must-read author for me and I cannot wait to read her next book!
