- School Library Journal Reviews : SLJ Reviews 2021 June
Copyright 2021 School Library Journal.Gr 8 Upâ Jewel van Hanen, elusive creator of the popular Golden Rule app (think TikTok, but with longer, diary-style videos), has returned from a yearlong absence with an exciting announcement. She is inviting four lucky Golden Rule users to spend an exclusive weekend at her expansive estate. When the players arrive, instead of a weekend of luxury, they find themselves in a grueling competition that pits them against each other and leaves several on the brink of insanity. Readers will be on the edge of their seat to see who wins the $500,000 prizeâand as the challenges grow ever more horrifying, if it's worth what it takes to win it. Though Kann builds anticipation throughout the novel, the ending is a bit of a letdown. This fast-paced story utilizes frequent perspective changes among three narrators, which may be confusing for some readers, especially when trying to reconcile characters with their oft-referenced Golden Rule personas. The three narrators and Jewel are Black and the story includes queer representation.VERDICT With a premise that's a mixture of Ernest Cline'sReady Player One and Jennifer Lynn Barnes'sThe Inheritance Games , this will be an easy sell to readers looking for a suspenseful story.âMary Kamela, Kenmore West H.S., Buffalo, NY
