Review: Off the Record

Off the Record by Camryn Garrett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Josie has always wanted to be a writer. No matter what is going on in her life, she knows that if she turns to writing she will feel good again. She has just found out she won a contest and will be participating in a multi-city tour where she will follow a celebrity on a publicity tour. She even gets to write up a celebrity profile for Deep Focus magazine to wrap up the experience. Josie can’t believe she has been assigned Marius Canet for her profile. She believes she is living her dream until an actress tells her a secret that shakes her world. That secret leads to others who had a similar experience. Josie wants to make the secret known, but does she have what it takes?

Off the Record is a stand-alone realistic fiction story that covers so many topics everyone should read it. The main character is proud of who she is, yet she struggles with her size and how other people view her. She wants to be a writer, but many people dismiss her because she is only 17 years old. Also, being thrown into the celebrity world she realizes that the #MeToo movement affects all types of people. Off the Record was a great read and I recommend it to everyone, no matter if you are an adult or young adult reader.
