pickI wish I could be more enthusiastic about this. The premise is so cool but the execution is low pick. #aardvark
At 19, Avery left Houston to become an Instagram star in LA. At 35, she‘s looking back negatively at all the cosmetic procedures she had and her relationship with a shady manager. She‘s back in LA to undergo Aesthetica™, a procedure that will undo the others and return her to natural aging. Dual timelines at 19 and 35. ⬇️
Reggie Oof, idk. Was she a sympathetic character? Or are we low key judging her the whole time? 1y
Cinfhen Great photo. I can see how this novel‘s premise could swerve from literary to lighthearted ☺️ 1y
Megabooks @Cinfhen it wasn‘t lighthearted. V dark bordering on dystopian. And thank you! (edited) 1y

Megabooks @Reggie 6 of one half dozen of the other. Maybe that was part of it. She wasn‘t really a sympathetic character nor did you love to hate her. It just didn‘t quite Go There. 1y
Cinfhen Still an awesome cover. 1y
Megabooks @Cinfhen I agree! 1y
AardvarkBookClub Ah! Bummed you didn‘t love this one but always appreciate an honest review! ❤️ The character is deeply flawed and complicated for sure and the story is def not lighthearted! 1y
Megabooks @AardvarkBookClub I gave it an #aadmirable in your system, which I love(!), because I liked it even if it wasn‘t swoonworthy. I‘d also be open to choosing similar books in the future! 1y
