Completely addicting-- I read it in a day.
I found it very interesting how if I wasn't paying attention, I could almost be sucked into June's ideology. She does such a thorough job of brainwashing herself that there are times (especially when she's being more subtle) that you almost feel it yourself.
I loved the unreliable narrator aspect because of this, and how it prompts you to wonder who Athena really was. June is overtly critical of her most times, while at other times deeply sentimental and borderline-Sapphic in her descriptions. But as June herself writes at one time, that's a way to get Tiktok talking. So who even was June?
Finally, I have to say that I did not expect the thriller aspect to actually feel thrilling. Without going into detail, I'll say that there were a few sections that were actually quite unsettling, particularly in the last quarter of the book.
The commentary on the publishing industry was a bit on the nose, but that's really my main complaint. I think this may even be closer to a 4.5 than a 4, but it's just not quite at a perfect 5 stars for me. Highly recommend though.
