Myface takes today's fascination with social media and influencers, and wraps it up into a thriller. It's a short book, but that doesn't distract from the story at all. It's a decent read with a really good plot, though the writing isn't quite as polished as you might want. Overall I would recommend this book if you like a good murder mystery!

Love social media? Obsessed with scrolling through your insta feed or seeing how many likes your most recent tweet got? Then you need to read MyFace by Kevin Landt.

MyFace is one of those books you wish was longer. It works great as a novella. It’s a read you can get through in a couple of hours but it’s one that longers with you and you will want to pass on to and discuss with your friends.

It’s a gripping read, which we found really hard to put down. It takes you headfirst into the side of social media that we all know exists but we try not to think about. If you love watching Black Mirror than this is a novella you need to add to your to-read list.

This is a hard one to review. It’s cover and synopsis is so intriguing, but the novella itself is not. It was hard to follow, almost like it was strewn together versus a formulated plot. Just not for me, did read it all, but wasn’t a hit or something I would recommend.

This is one of the few books I've read that I thought was truly awful. Apparently for fans for Brett Easton Ellis and Chuck Palaniuk, this book in no way deserves any comparisons with either author. Although the premise was intriguing, I wondered if this was a piece of vanity publishing, it was so poorly written.

Really sorry to give such a negative review, but I was genuinely disappointed by this novel and I'm not even sure why I finished it.

It was a really fast read which is a good thing. I am really hooked throughout the whole thing until the mediocre ending

Myface is the social media which everyone is using in a somewhat high tech world in the book. It wasn't much different from facebook except that they have mirrors where u can call Myface and MyFace would appear to serve you

Angela Fox is the new winner user of MyFace but the thing is she is the plastic surgery version of one of the heroine I cant remember her name. Norman is this crazy child star who fell out of fame and is infatuated with Angela Fox and having hallucinations about her. The whole story is kinda crazy and very fast paced. But I feel like it happened too fast to not allow me to grow attached and learn more about the characters that the ending is very underwhelming

Genre: New Adult Novella 
Rating: 2.5/5 
Myface is the perfect read for fans of Chuck Palahniuk and Bret Easton Ellis, less so for social media giants (who definitely won't want you to read this!).
With more than half the global population now on social media, this YA/NA contemporary fiction novella explores its negative side.
Catfishing can be a deadly business, especially when social media mega-influencer Angela Fox has you in her sights. When Angela Fox’s Myface account is selected as Hottest User of the Month, there’s only one problem: she isn’t real. As the fake Angela takes the world by storm, a group of strangers struggle to escape a twisted web of narcissism, deceit, and revenge.
L.A. hotshot Sebastian Shafer is so desperate to get a job, he creates an elaborate plan to convince his future employer that, if hired, Sebastian’s association with “Hollywood socialite” Angela Fox will bring in the sales. The only issue is he needs to convince the world that she actually exists.
Angela draws more attention than Sebastian anticipated when her profile gains millions of followers and fame seekers desperately try to catch her attention. But things really get out of control when a handsome young stage-play director winds up dead. The question is who pulled the trigger?

My verdict: I loved the premise of the novel and thought it really reflected on our attitudes towards social media and catfishing however, I thought the choppy writing style, use of fantasies and alternate points of view made it rather confusing to read, whilst I appreciate the idea of a novella is to be precise and to the point I thought this limited the author from exploring themes such as infertility, our online social media personas and the pressures and that comes with being in the public eye in dog eat dog society. There is promise with the writing however I just thought it was a bit obvious in terms of plot and had caricatures rather than characters we could emotionally connect with despite their lives corresponding with relevant issues faced in our modern-day society. Perhaps this would be better suited as a play or short film? I'm also a bit perplexed as to why it was marketed as a young adults book considering it's adult themes (that's not to say I don't think teenage readers could handle this I just think they would find it a bit difficult to relate to even with the aspect of social media)

An interesting and gripping story that kept me hooked.
It's well written, full of twists and turns, and I appreciated the character development and the world building.
It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

this was a great read, the characters were great and I really enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed trying to figure out what was going on in the mystery and who pulled the trigger. I look forward to more from the author.

This was in some ways interesting. The writing was I can't really describe..... It was interesting the way this was written. I liked how this was written through different POVs.
But I didn't care for this book. It was wonky.
This was for sure a fast paced read. I finished in just a few hours.
I found myself skimming through some parts.
I just thought this was going to be something entirely different.

Overall-- Ok Book

This book seemed intriguing and up my alley since I first laid eyes on it. Thats where it ended unfortunately.
I couldn't quite connect with the writing style, it was bizarre, unemotional and lacklustre.
I am always heartbroken when this happens with books I am so eager to read and love. This one was slightly off and just couldn't'' hold my interest. I ended up skimming the pages after failed attempts to LIKE EVEN A TEENY TINY BIT in here. With a heavy heart I put it out there, " I didn't like it.

The book cover is pretty though! The premise is also quite riveting and a pressing issue these days, so all my stars for the aforementioned!


I would still like to read more from the author as this was my first book and I feel its too soon to judge.
Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for giving me an e ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is INSANE. totally reminds me of a social media driven black mirror episode. It is crazy how obsessed we are with social media and how we allow it to drive our lives. Literally this book revolves around an fictitious individual. Such a page turner. I could not put it down. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

So many twists and turns! The book starts out with the perfect hook, and each little moment you think you have figured out what was going on, up until the last page, when yet another twist comes in. The book was a quick read as well, I finished it in a few hours. I always like reading books that change perspectives, as it helps the story move along quickly. The ending was unexpected and shocking and tied up all the loose ends of the story perfectly. I look forward to seeing this book on shelves soon, it will be one I add to my collection for sure.

Wow this book was great! You want to believe it’s a work of fiction, which it is, however you see so much of society today in the pages. A great read that I finished in about 2 hours.
