3.10.2020 - What it Seems

What It Seems by Emily Bleeker

Many thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Emily Bleeker for the opportunity to read and review her latest novel.  Even though some of the plot was a little implausible, still a good read that kept me wondering how it would all play out.

Tara has been with her foster mom since she was 8.  But "Mother" is extremely abusive to Tara, locking her in the dark, starving her, making her steal from stores and then sell the products online to make a living.  Tara, now 20, escapes her reality by watching a YouTube family, the Feelys.  When an internship with the family is offered, Tara is able to finally escape from Mother and join a family like she's always dreamed of.  But of course, no family is as perfect as they appear online.

Creepy, especially because such things as this happen far too frequently.
