Reality TV has a dark future in this thought-provoking thriller
To the people suffering on the war-torn mainland, Bliss Island seems like an idyllic place. And it is: except for the fact that the island is a set, and the islandersโ lives are a performance. Theyโre the stars of a hit TV show, Blissful DaysโCharacters are adored by mainland viewers, yet in constant danger of being cut if their ratings dip too low. And no one really knows what happens to cut Characters.
Nettie Starling knows sheโs been given the chance of a lifetime when a producer offers suggestions to help her improve her mediocre ratingsโespecially when those suggestions involve making a move on the boy sheโs been in love with for years. But she'll soon have to decide how far she's willing to go to keep the cameras fixed on her. . . especially when she learns what could happen to her if she doesn't.
