Kristy Shaw is so desperate to win back her first true love, Max, that she agrees to appear in The Shot, a reality TV show that offers contestants total body body transformation - extreme plastic surgery to render her unrecognisable - as a way to rekindle flames with lost loves. But there's a catch: if she doesn't secure Max's heart in 30 days, she must have her surgeries reversed and won't get to keep her new life. Mara Bolt, reality TV supremo and creator of The Shot, is confident this show will be her best and ratings will go through the roof - and she will stop at nothing to get there.
'The Shot speaks to that secret, burning urge we have to be pulled apart and put back together as something better. Naima Brown gifts us a runaway-train plot and characters that feel real, even as they try to deny every part of themselves. Clear your schedule: you won't be able to put this book down.' Hayley Scrivenor, bestselling author of Dirt Town
'Riveting, intense and, let's face it, downright disturbing, The Shot explores morality through the lens of reality television. On the surface fast-paced and entertaining, this book is the proverbial duck, paddling deeper to explore the more complex waters of privacy, ethics and the human cost of what we call entertainment. This one is going to get a lot of attention, and rightfully so.' Sally Hepworth, bestselling author of The Soulmate
