The first chapters are solid and look interesting.  They consist of letters written between various characters.  The story sounds like it’s going to be fun.

This book is very readable. Light, but readable.

The ‘collection of letters’ scheme is not my favorite, and succeeds here onl y with novelty interest. I am reasonably sure I would like the book more if it was more conventionally written.

The story, on the other hand, is one of those odd collection of ‘just bizarre enough to be fake, but just real enough to be almost true’ kind of thing that can still drag you along. The author needs, IMO, to do a good deal more showing than telling, the ‘letter’ scheme is a bit of a handicap for her in that light. All too many of the tensions exist only in black and white and not in the ‘reality’ of the story.

I personally find the erstwhile main character difficult to relate to, and find the secondary character much more likeable.

All in all, readable, if you like that kind of thing.
