I haven't read a spy thriller in a while and with Imposter Syndrome set against the backdrop of a large tech corporation in Silicon Valley, I was excited to find out more.
I think the saddest thing about this book is that upon reading it, I can accurately sum up the entire plot in about 2 sentences without really missing anything out - and one of those sentences is on the blurb! Imposter Syndrome is a very slow read - there's a lot of unnecessary detail and exposition of backstory for characters which really isn't needed. A good edit could probably take about 150 pages out without affecting the plot or the readers enjoyment (and it isn't a long book!). From the blurb, I was expecting a cat and mouse, high paced thriller as worker bee Alice discovers her boss and head of tech company Tangerine is a Russian spy. It isn't until about halfway through the book that Alice discovers this fact though which seemed like a lot of build for a fact that has already been told to the reader both in the blurb and in the first chapter from Julia's perspective.
The plot doesn't seem to progress very well either. We get a lot of back and forth, a lot of dull conversations and then the ending just fizzles out. In the final few pages I was really hoping for a bit of a violent twist of a conclusion and a sharp ending to Julia's side of the plot but the actual ending was disappointing. Despite all of the backstory and interactions I didn't feel like I related particularly well to any of the characters - they are all quite unlikeable, including Alice.
Overall, Imposter Syndrome should have been a high paced techno-spy-thriller but we were left with a slow moving plot and not much of a story. Thank you to NetGalley & Verve Books for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
