Closer to home, Verity’s boyfriend’s ex will do whatever it takes to discredit Verity. Verity is kind, wise, and lovable, while would-be-mentor Mena turns out to be shallow and money-hungry. The book rehashes the fight over work that some derisively call Instagram poetry, but it offers no examples of Verity’s writing, leaning instead on overly simplified good-bad dichotomies. For Verity, a trip to New York City, so far away from Sydney, Australia and the beloved grandfather who raised her, not to mention her new boyfriend-is equal parts exciting and intimidating, even with best friend Jess tagging along.

When her best friend challenges her to go public, rapid success-followers, celebrity fans, and a publisher-astonishes her.
