Media 1 is in charge of your life.  You’ve signed a contract that you’ll have your life watched 24/7 as you’re a cast member of Blissful Days, the ultimate reality TV show, where reality is really scripted after all.  So is the life of Nettie Starling.  Navigating life on and off the mic, with missives from the producers on what products to promote or work into conversations, living via Blissful Days had been a good life.  Until Nettie starts to question the “Big Brother” control of Media 1 and how their “Initiative” may bring her more harm than good. In questioning their control, she discovers disturbing and possibly deadly aspects to the blissful life.  Slightly reminiscent of the movie The Truman Show, Nettie resembles in Mockingjay. Other characters are carefully crafted by Maya Rock to keep readers wondering who to trust, as one person’s “initiative” might lead to another character’s downfall.  This was a young adult novel that was looked forward to every night, ironically much like one’s favorite TV program.  Highly recommended.
