From multi-million copy seller, K. L. Slater comes another breath-taking thriller, narrated by Claudia Jessie (star of Bridgerton & Line of Duty)

All she has to do is pretend to be his girlfriend…

Alicia has left her young son and sister to chase a better life in London. But she’s not just chasing opportunity, she’s running from the truth.

At the Orbit, an elite enclave towering above the city where the great and the good come to play, Alicia waits tables, watching everything.

When the charismatic owner of The Orbit offers her a deal - pretend to be her girlfriend in return for a salary and an apartment - Alicia accepts. After all, it’s only pretend … until it’s not.

Soon, Alicia is living the life she’s always dreamed of — but behind the flawless façade, something is deeply wrong and some deals cannot be broken. As her past begins to creep towards her, Alicia thought she was the only one playing a game.

It turns out she wasn’t alone…

It was a great story, but obviously stretched out to reach some kind of minimum length. The rehashing over and over again of plot points already covered was annoying. And that was a shame because the book would have been so much stronger without all the filler.

Stretched to reach page count?

It felt like there was a lot of build-up and not a lot of action or substance in the middle, then a lot of epilogue type content at the end. I kept waiting for something really shocking or exciting to happen but it was meh.

Plot was a little thin

I debated about giving this a 4 star rating. athe story was a good idea and I liked the idea of her working between two rivals. I just wasn't invested in the character. She was kind of flat and I didn't feel the connection to her family. Still a good enough read.l because of the story. and
