This is one of those books that you just devour, not even realizing that hours have passed since you sat down to read. It tells the story of Angel, who goes to work as an assistant in a literary agent’s office. Lucy, the agent, is an incredibly difficult and downright mean boss who expects her employees to work almost 24 hours a day. She’s horrible to her employees, but Angel, a voracious reader, finds that she has a real talent for working with authors, and is determined to keep her job.
One of the submissions Angel begins to read is called Blind Submission, and it is the story of a literary agency like Lucy’s. As Angel begins to work with the anonymous author and reads more of the story, she finds that it is beginning to parallel her own life. The submission takes on a sinister tone as Angel’s secrets begin to be revealed. Angel is sure that it is someone around her who is writing the manuscript, but she can’t figure out exactly who it could be.
This novel grabs you from the start and never lets go. I really loved it. It was so well-written and interesting from start to finish.
