Aspiring writer Florence is still relatively new to New York and struggling to find an identity when she gets hired to be the personal assistant to Maud Dixon, a pseudonym for the reclusive woman whose debut novel took the world by storm. When she takes the job, only Florence and "Maud's" agent know the author's true identity, and Florence quickly takes control of everything in the author's life that's not actually writing the next novel. But when Florence survives a car accident on a research trip to Morocco — and there's no sign to be found of her boss — Florence begins to consider taking on the "Maud Dixon" persona herself.
This is a twisty, roller coaster of a novel, and I absolutely loved it. The unpredictable twists, the unsympathetic characters, the overall unreliability of everyone... all of it was presented perfectly. For a debut novel, this was amazing, and I can't wait to see what Andrews comes up with next.
