Synopsis

Reality is deadly when you go off script.Bliss Island seems like an idyllic place to live—especially to the people suffering on the war-torn mainland. What's not so idyllic about Bliss is the fact that the Island is a set, and everyone's life is a performance; they're all stars of a hit reality TV show, Blissful Days. Characters on the show think they're better off on Bliss than the mainland, but they're always in danger of being cut if their ratings dip too low. And no one really knows what happens to cut characters.Nettie Starling has never had great ratings, so it seems lucky when a producer offers suggestions to help her improve. But she'll soon have to decide how far she'll go to preserve her ratings…especially when she learns what could happen to her if she doesn't.

MEINUNG: Wow schon der Klappentext hat mich fasziniert und ich musste unbedingt, die Geschichte von Nettie kennenlernen. Sie lebt auf einer Insel, aber wird dort wie in einer TV-Show immer überwacht. Dort werden die Darsteller gestrichen, die nicht mehr beliebt sind. Was hat das Schicksal mit ihr vo......more
