I really loved the author's previous novel The Ugly Truth which was a clever and compelling commentary on celebrity. Clickbait also looks at the celebrity world through the story of the Lancaster family. Their reality show Living With the Lancasters has been hugely popular over the course of a decade until a video links them with the disappearance of a missing teenager Bradley Wilcox. As true crime investigator Tom Isaac becomes involves we see the spectacular fall of the Lancasters.
This was another compelling look into the celebrity world told through a multiple of different narratives including interviews and tweets. I did find the tweets from random social media users unnecessary and felt that this broke up the otherwise well flowing plot. However, this was still a fast paced and addictive read. I was completely gripped by the plot, drawn into the toxic world of the family and their potential involvement in Bradley's disappearance.
A recommended read.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this digital ARC.

This was just so relevant for the times. It was a really well written story about influencers, social media and how the court of public opinion can be so powerful and change in a dime. I didn't expect the entire book to be told in the form of posts, tweets, comments, social media posts, podcasts and interviews so that felt a bit off since I do like traditional storytelling but it worked well for the topic and made you feel like you discovered the truth as it played out real time. Relevant, captivating and very easy to get lost in

A very interesting read! Especially with the way social media and the internet is heading currently. Definitely recommended.

This is a great read about how things can change for celebrity's flying high one moment and then................... A fast and compelling story. My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
