Broadcast live, Rosa Lincoln takes to the stage at her brother's memorial service with a bomb concealed beneath her clothes. Being in Jimmy's shadow was never easy, even when he was alive, but in death he has become a national hero. When she crosses paths with the enigmatic Teresa, she discovers that those she has been taught to view as enemies may not be the real villains after all. The lies need to be stopped, and Rosa intends on doing just that.

I feel quite wiped, emotionally and mentally after reading this book. This is one of the best books I've read in ages. The opening chapter is brilliant and I knew I was going to look this book. I was not disappointed. I love the way the book is structured, opening in dramatic, even horrific fashion and then offering a series of flashbacks that lead up to that one life-altering moment. The book is set in a bleak, all too familiar and possible future. The book reminds me of The Handmaid's Tale or 1984, two of my favourite books. Poster Boy is packed with twists and turns and light and darkness. I was utterly mesmerised by it. I cannot wait to read more from this author.
