Cover Story audiobook

It’s been a long time since I was convinced to buy a book that bookstagram told me I needed. I usually either have a review copy to read or I can’t fit it into my schedule. My TBR is already a disaster so I really don’t need to add more to it, especially if the book already was released. However, so many people kept telling me that I’d enjoy Susan Rigetti’s COVER STORY that I couldn’t ignore it any longer. ⁣⁣COVER STORY is definitely inspired by Anna Sorokin/Delvey’s massive scam and if you are up -to-date on Anna’s crimes or enjoy the Netflix show Inventing Anna, this book is for you! Rigetti has updated parts of the story to make for a juicy and creative story, but this book is definitely a homage to readers who can’t get enough of this story. I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading and in fact read it in one sitting! The story definitely has its own drama that is unique to the book and the ending was spectacular. I was shooketh! ⁣⁣Thanks @beautyandthebook @basicbsguide and @novelgossip for convincing me to read this book. I went in not knowing anything else about this book besides what I noted above, and you should too! This book is definitely a contender for best of 2022 for me, so please let me know what you think when you pick this book up!

I got fooled.100% add to your summer TBR! You’ll read it in a day.

4.5 stars rounded up to 5 for goodreads. i DEVOURED this book and couldn’t wait to finish it 🤩it gave me TINDLER SWINDLER meets DEVIL WEARS PRADA meets corporate vibes and i was here for it every second. all i can say is go into this blind—all i knew is that it had a shocking ending so that was enough for me! and boy did it ever 😮‍💨 i managed to figure it out but not until after it was done. this would be SUCH a fun book adaption to movie/series. manifesting it now!!! such a good #bookstagrammademedoit! full review coming on my IG later this week.

What a wild ride!! Started this and didn’t put it down until I finished and that ending blew my mind 🤯 WILD

That was quite a ride, Susan Rigetti! Despite the lack of sex, drugs, and rock and roll (and murder); this was still an riveting book experience. I really liked the format using diary entries, text messages, Instagram posts (will the actual photos be in the finished book?), FBI reports, and news reports. The setting in NYC was fabulous as well with a side of fashion journalism (Elle) and the Plaza -- yes, the one of Eloise fame. Been binging shows like "The Tinder Swindler" on Netflix lately? Check out this new release. The cover is beckoning you to jump in. I hope you do.Thank you to William Morrow and Edelweiss+ for a DRC in exchange for an honest review.

Summary: When Lora Ricci lands her dream internship at Elle Magazine, she immediately becomes taken with the very wealthy and enigmatic contributing editor, Cat Wolff. Before long, it becomes clear Cat Wolff is not who she claims to be. Thoughts: Given that this book is best going into blind, I’ll leave the summary short and discreet. This sleeper of a book hit Bookstagram like a house on fire. Overnight, the entire platform was abuzz with how amazing this book is, how impressive the twist, and how quick a read it was. And although the twist wasn’t as mind blowing as I had expected based on the excitement, I really did enjoy it as the great game of cat and mouse it is.This book is told entirely in Epistolary form. While I love that style of novel, it sometimes makes it a bit harder to connect with the characters. I found myself with not much emotional investment in either Cat or Lora. What I did love was the chase between the special prosecutors, the FBI agents, and Cat Wolf. That was so much fun and I enjoyed every minute of it. This is a solid thriller that I would definitely recommend, especially to those who really enjoy the letter/diary entry format. I’m excited to read more by this author in the future.

Holy freaking cow. 😳I binged this book in one evening and it was wild. This novel had it all -rich people behaving badly, deception level 10, a TWIST, and a con artist you don’t want to miss! I can’t really say much without giving away the plot but I highly suggest going in blind!! The format of this book isn’t like a typical novel, it’s all in emails, diary entries, and instant messages. It definitely moves quickly and it’s hard to put down! This one is going in the “epic” category on my shelf and I highly, highly recommend it! Pub day is April 5th sooooo *add to cart*!

What an ending!

You can read my full review and others here: https://teatimelit.com/It’s been almost a month since I first read Cover Story, and honestly, I’m still a little mind blown! I had heard good things about Cover Story from some friends, so when I was trying to pick an audiobook to start at work one day it seemed like the obvious choice. Let me tell you, I am so glad that I listened to them and gave this book a chance, because I am obsessed!I loved everything about Cover Story. I loved the epistolary writing style and think that it was the perfect way to tell this story. Because we read the majority of the story through Lora’s journal entries, I think it’s easy to get cast under Cat’s spell — but not necessarily in the same way as Lora. With every page I found myself more and more suspicious of Cat and was dying to know more about her as most of the details of her life are very vague. She’s the daughter of a clean-energy mogul, she’s a contributing editor at ELLE, she’s rich and knows all the right people — but who exactly is Cat Wolff? No one really knows, and that’s what makes her so captivating. The ending of this book…I won’t really go into detail because I don’t want to spoil it, but I have not stopped thinking about it. I’ll be going about my day and suddenly my brain goes, “So the ending of Cover Story” and I just stand there like the wide eyed emoji. I definitely had a feeling that things would play out the way that they did, but I didn’t truly know until the end, and I was shocked that my suspicions were correct because it just felt so improbable. I finished the book and just sat there at my desk going, “Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God!?”, which, in my opinion, is the mark of a great twist! I’m looking forward to rereading it and really analyzing all the clues that were dropped along the way. ---i'm SCREAMING this was so good oh my gosh, i'm going feral. i *knew* it, but i didn't truly *know* it until the end. amazing.i also really love how the entire story was told through journal entries, newspaper articles/journals, text messages, emails, etc. i thought that was so well done. oof, i'm definitely gonna have to reread this one.

what the actual fuck… that ending …
