Imogen Imagine by Steve Couch was such an intriguing and emotional read! I really enjoyed the way the story explores imagination, identity, relationships, and the ways people try to make sense of the lives they are living.

Imogen was a fascinating character to follow, and I loved getting deeper into her perspective as the story unfolded. There is a really interesting balance between the personal and the unexpected that kept me invested.

The story made me think about how much we understand the people around us and how easily our perceptions can change when new information comes to light.

Overall, Imogen Imagine was thoughtful, unusual, and engaging. I really enjoyed the characters and the questions the story raises about identity and perception.

Thank you @netgalley & @thebookguild for the opportunity to read this advance reader copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The setting, vibes and characters immediately pulled me in and I was hooked since the first chapter! I finished this in one sitting because I just had to know how it was going to end! This was my first book by Steve Couch and I'd love to read more!

The book was a pleasant read, but unfortunately, it felt somewhat bland and lacked the depth and excitement I was hoping for.

While the writing was clear and easy to follow, the storyline was not so captivating, and the characters did not leave a particularly strong impression.

Overall, it was an enjoyable enough book, but it didn’t quite have the spark or emotional impact needed to make it truly memorable.

I have read Steve Couch books before and loved them. This one did not dissapoint. I liked the characters and I loved the writing style of Couch. I look forward to reading more of his books in the future. He has a way of making you feel like you are right there in the book with the characters living the same situations.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
