Eighteen-year-old Gracie Thrace has a secret. Four months ago, she started to

abroad and her relationship with her high-powered mother strained, Gracie has
no one to turn to for solace. When a new voice called Kai materialises, Gracie
finds herself attached to his kindness. Kai offers the support Gracie craves,
but how can she possibly let herself fall for someone who isn't real? Set in
2047 London, Nightmare Scenario is a complex and touching love story that
explores the stigma around mental illness and offers a daunting prediction of
the future where technology infiltrates every part of society.

Full Review coming 1st November
As soon as I started this book, I knew I was in
for a special ride. This is one of them books that takes you by the hand and
tells you to run. I think the synopsis provides a great overview of the Nightmare Scenario without
introducing spoilers. Hazel’s writing constructs an engaging honest and raw
story that envelops you in her dystopian world and through the unsettling
times. Without spoilers, the first and most important theme is mental health
and the second major theme deals with is the development of technology. Both
themes are dealt with beautifully and respectfully especially the metal health
theme it was deep and emotional and you easily felt a connection to the main
character.
