Borderline (The Arcadia Project #1) by Mishell Baker - Starting April 16th 2017

[Sarah Elizabeth]

A year ago, Millie lost her legs and her filmmaking career in a failed suicide attempt. Just when she's sure the credits have rolled on her life story, she gets a second chance with the Arcadia Project: a secret organization that polices the traffic to and from a parallel reality filled with creatures straight out of myth and fairy tales.

For her first assignment, Millie is tasked with tracking down a missing movie star who also happens to be a nobleman of the Seelie Court. To find him, she'll have to smooth-talk Hollywood power players and uncover the surreal and sometimes terrifying truth behind the glamour of Tinseltown. But stronger forces than just her inner demons are sabotaging her progress, and if she fails to unravel the conspiracy behind the noble's disappearance, not only will she be out on the streets, but the shattering of a centuries-old peace could spark an all-out war between worlds.

No pressure.

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[Part of me wishes that Millie would heed the smart lady's warning. The other part of me knows that if she did, we wouldn't have a book. So I shall tell my former part to suck it up. (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[Im seriously loving the narrative and the way the author is introducing fey. They still have the same aspects, just told in a different way. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 24 (view spoiler)[ That kiss was so random (hide spoiler)]

[Eesh]

Chapter 26
(view spoiler)[Great, now we get to deal with more Gloria. Millie is very likely to stab her by the end of this book. And if she doesn't, I will. (hide spoiler)]

I finished this book while I had not reception to do updates so i will make some post comments now.
I have to admit I really struggled to get! this book in fact only by reading a review did I understand why the book was called Borderline. How did I miss that while reading the book?

Millie (view spoiler)[ I'm now lead to believe Millie had BPD so my question is did she have this prior to her attempted suicide or did the brain damage she received cause it. Also I got the impression she landed on her feet as the were comments in the book about her always landing on her feet so how did she get brain damage? (hide spoiler)]

Overall (view spoiler)[ While i didn't dislike this book, it just didn't come together for me. Even when Millie met her Echo it didn't feel like she had the right person. Why did she not know he was her Echo when they first met, all she was basing it on were the drawings. The whole book felt like the author was trying to shove all sorts of different pieces of a puzzle together to make a picture not knowing someone had put the pieces of multiple puzzles in the box.

I'm struggling a bit too. The story isn't very gripping, is it?

[Eesh]

Chapter 38
(view spoiler)[Well, now that Millie has screwed up so completely and epically (I kind of hate her after that little rage rant), I would like to see how she fixes the mess she's made. (hide spoiler)]
