The Writing Retreat Book by Julia Bartz

Alex works for a publishing company. She is unhappy in her job and her boss is bordering on evil. She had a fall out with her BFF, Wren. She is dealing with it by stalking her social media. Things start to look up when Alex and a few other women (including Wren!!!) are given the opportunity to attend a month long writing retreat with famous author, Roza Vallo.

The group of women are excited and nervous to work closely with Roza and win the prize of becoming a published author. Roza quickly sets rules for the women to follow. The hardest one is starting a brand new book, something Alex is struggling with since she has writers block. 

The writing schedule Roza has set it rigorous. Tension is high amongst some of the women. Roza is growing unhinged and then things get really strange and dark.  

The Writing Retreat starts off a bit slow. The build up is worth it thought because it becomes fast paced and exciting. The twists and turns make this book worth the read.
