IT’S TIME FOR BOOK FLAP FRIDAY!

Book Flap Friday is when I read the inside cover (or book-flap) of a new or interesting story that I’d like to shine a light on.

And today’s spotlight is on ALEX, BY PROXY by author @karenmynacantor! I haven’t read this one yet, but based on the inside cover, I can tell this is going to be an emotionally gripping and powerful YA thriller!

Here’s what I know so far:

Alex is a sixteen-year-old who survived a severe case of Munchausen by proxy (involving his mother deliberately making him ill). He is starting a true-crime podcast to tell his painful story before testifying in a trial against his mom. But things get even more complicated when a rival blogger starts turning the public against him, blurring the lines of his memory and causing him to second-guess himself.

👉🏼ALEX, BY PROXY sounds like a deeply emotional and intriguing mystery. I’m definitely adding this to my TBR list!
Happy reading!
